Metallics

Metallics are powder coatings which have a metallic or sparkle effect added to them. These metallic pigments are usually aluminum flake or mica and can be different colors and sizes. There are those that will be very obviously sparkly or glittery, others shimmery, and some will have more subtle sparkle effectsSo, for this guide, we should specify that we aren’t talking about coatings that give the appearance of metal - what we are talking about are metallic coatings that have a sparkling effect. Now, there are two basic types of metallic: bonded and unbonded. Both metallics are capable of a sparkling effect. Where they differ, is in how they are made.
