Like a chameleon that changes colour according to its surroundings, light striking a surface coated with Resene Special Effects creates the unexpected illusion of colour movement.  A building coated with Resene Special Effects shimmers in response to the sun’s position and intensity.

With systems developed for virtually any use, Resene metallics and special effects will transform and add an extra dimension to a wide range of surfaces from exterior concrete and steelwork through to interior feature walls, doors, joinery and furniture.

Resene Enamacryl Metallic, waterborne with a metallic effect finish, is recommended over exterior concrete and plaster.  If it is being applied over fresh concrete, Resene Limelock must be applied first to cure and seal the surface, otherwise alkalinity from the concrete may attack the aluminium flake and destroy the integrity and appearance of the coating.  Resene Enamacryl Metallic is also the preferred product for interior work because of its Environmental Choice approval and low VOC.

Resene Imperite I.F. 503, a spray-applied high performance coating, is more durable than Resene Enamacryl Metallic in outdoor situations and is the preferred exterior system for maximum durability, especially over new steelwork.

The new Resene Metallics and Special Effects colour range is available from Resene ColorShops and representatives.
