Patina Kit Application

PATINA FINISH KITS contains real metal suspended in acrylic paint that when burnished produces a controlled, natural patina. The Patina process is a natural process, and no two surfaces will be identical. Variations will occur naturally over the surface.

Application:

  1. Apply the pre-tinted Patina Primer, included with this kit. This layer helps develop depth of color, aids in adhesion and increases durability. Can be sprayed, brushed or rolled.
  2. Allow 2-4 hours for Patina Primer to dry completely. Check to ensure proper coverage, repeating steps 1 & 2 if necessary.
  3. Apply Patina Metallic Paint similarly to Patina Primer by either spraying, brushing or rolling. It is critical to agitate (stir) regularly to ensure consistent distribution and final effect.
  4. Allow 2-4 hours for Patina Primer to dry completely. Check to ensure proper coverage, repeating steps 3 & 4 if necessary.
  5. Allow an additional 24  hours for Patina Metallic to fully cure.
  6. Burnish the surface lightly with a Scotch-Brite Pads or a similar abrasive. Producing a natural metal sheen greatly increases the effectiveness of the patina.
  7. Clean the surface with a slightly damp rag to collect any remaining debris.
  8. Apply Jax Patina with either a soft brush or a spray bottle. Follow the directions on the bottle. Take care if brushing as it can leave marks. Spray bottle application is recommended. The patina process is a wet process, take care to protect any flooring or furniture. WEAR EYE, HAND AND RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
  9. When the surface is completely dry it may be sealed or left natural. A natural surface will change with time and is prone to surface damage. We recommend a polyurethane clear-coat that can either be sprayed, brushed or rolled. Gentle application is recommended to protect the patina.
