ellen kennon paints vs metallic paint technology

11 years ago

i love the look of a friend's gold metallic dining room and wish to add that glimmer somewhere.

i also love ek paints and think if i use that i'll get a shimmer in different lighting yet be much more subtle than the multi layering valspar metallics calls for.

am i correct in thinking ek will get me the depth and irridescense i want??

It depends a LOT on the color of EK paint.

I would call her and ask.

It shows up in some of my EK paints, not in others.
