Metals

Glossy or matte, metal has been an artistic medium since ancient times, for jewellery making for example, or for tools and instruments.
It is now widely used as a medium for decoration and customisation.
POSCA adheres very well to metals such as iron or aluminium. The colour will be permanent on rough or porous metals and erasable on perfectly smooth metals.

Preparation

Clean the surface with a cloth and ensure it is not damp or greasy before starting work.

The effects you can produce with POSCA on metals include mixing and layering colours.
If the metal used is varnished, the drying time will be longer.

Fixation

Once your creation is finished and dry, we recommend applying two or three coats of water-based spray finishing varnish, especially for outdoor use.
Hold the can about 30 cm from the surface and spray in slow circular movements.
The varnish can be matte or gloss depending on the look you want.
