🎯 How to apply
-
Clean and dry the surface
-
Apply a thin layer with a soft brush or airbrush
-
Let dry for 30–40 minutes
-
Apply 2–4 coats depending on desired metallic effect
-
(Optional) Lightly sand the final coat (thin grit) for an enhanced brushed metal texture
💡 Tip: Use cross-direction brush strokes for a raw steel look. Airbrush for smoother, polished effects.
It is possible that following strong twisting or repeated twisting, you will see cracks appear on your props. Give it a quick blast with a heat gun and it will just disappear!
✨ Finish & protection
The final finish is matte-satin, metallic and flexible. No cracking — even on bent or rolled parts.
To enhance durability:
-
Add a matte or gloss top coat
-
You can sprinkle pigments or glitter while surface is slightly tacky (within 24h)
🎨 Realistic metal on the outside, cosplay comfort on the inside.
