What are Liquid Metal Finishes?
Liquid metal coating is an advanced surface finish created through the merger of pure metal particles and a carefully formulated resin. This amalgamation provides the elegance of real metal with the toughness and durability of the resin binder.
The result is a highly versatile metal coating that can be applied to nearly any substrate, creating a seamless, gleaming, and customized metal veneer. Unlike plating or powder coating, this is a cold application process, allowing for greater flexibility and custom textures.
Any material can be metalized:
The versatility of the liquid process means the finished product carries the weight and permanence of metal without the structural constraints of solid metal fabrication. We apply our liquid metal finishes to substrates, including:
- Architectural Metals: Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Copper, Bronze, Corten Steel (Weathering Steel).
- Non-Metals: Wood, MDF, Concrete, Fiberglass, and GRP.
Once cured, these surfaces become hard, durable, living, real metal finishes that will patinate and age just like solid metal.
Real Metal Finishes Available:
- Copper
- Brass
- Bronze
- Iron
- White-Bronze
- Nickel-Silver
- Stainless Steel
- Aluminum
- Zinc
Design Aesthetics: Where and How to Apply Liquid Metal
The flexibility of liquid metal finishes allows architects and designers to incorporate the look and feel of high-end metal into challenging design elements, ensuring aesthetic vision is interwoven with functional robustness.
1. Architectural Cladding and Facades
Liquid metal coatings, particularly those using durable acrylic resins, are excellent for exterior use. They provide high weather resistance against climatic change, ensuring the longevity and beauty of:
- Facades and Cladding: Creating seamless, striking exterior surfaces.
- Rusted Architectural Effects: Using a Corten Steel liquid metal coating to expedite the natural aging process for a stunning, authentic rusted look.
2. Interior Design and Custom Elements
Within a space, the metal coating is used to transform mundane items into luxurious features:
- Furniture and Fixtures: Turning everyday objects like tables, counters, and lighting into luxury metallic pieces with the finish of Copper, Brass, or Nickel-Silver.
- Heat-Resistant Surfaces: Due to its high-temperature resistance and thermal conductivity, liquid metal is ideal for kitchen backsplashes and, as the example showed, Fireplace Surrounds.
- Custom Signage and Branding: The fluidity allows for precise, distinctive typography and logo designs that convey brand identity with the unmistakable elegance of real metal.
3. Sculptural, Acoustic, and Restoration Projects
The material's properties extend beyond mere aesthetics:
- Acoustic & Soundproofing: The coating can be integrated into functional panels to improve sound absorption while creating stylish architectural artwork in recording studios or auditoriums.
- Art Installations: Architects collaborate with artists to create unique, large-scale sculptures and installations that leverage the material’s glossiness and fluidity.
- Restoration and Preservation: Liquid metal coating is state-of-the-art for restoring and preserving historical components, such as iron railings and grilles, by reproducing the look of conventional metal with added durability.
Liquid Metal in Design: Unlocking Possibilities
The true power of the metal coating is its ability to adhere to large, non-metallic surfaces, transforming common building materials into stunning focal points.

Our Reviews
Chromatist Painters, led by Shayan, exceeded my expectations with their exceptional work on painting my entire house. They went above and beyond, showcasing their talent and attention to detail. Shayan’s guidance throughout the process was invaluable, ensuring that every corner was flawlessly painted. The team’s commitment to excellence and their dedication to customer satisfaction were evident in the outstanding results. I highly recommend Chromatist Painters for their extraordinary service and commend Shayan for his invaluable assistance.
We engaged Chromatist to paint our 100 year old home in mid-town Toronto this spring. There were a number of issues that made this job a little unique. We had just gotten our knob-and-tube wiring replaced so there were a lot of holes that had been recently roughly plastered over.
Also, there was a large hole in the lathe-and-plaster ceiling of our dining room from a plumbing leak. Finally, our hallway was finished with faux
painting that simulated marble and brick with some trompe-l’oele of leaves in a vase that we wished to preserve rather than paint over.Shayan and his team were a pleasure to work with and did a great job on this challenging project. Every day the painters were very considerate and minimized disruption such that we were able to continue to work from home during the whole process.
We especially appreciate the work on the faux painting in the hall, where Shayan had someone come in to analyze color matches and then hand painted and blended the colors so as to seamlessly hide the cracks and plaster that was there before. It looks better now than it did when we bought our house (a long time ago!).
Thanks Shayan and team. We are definitely interested in working with you again.
Shayan and his team were awesome!
Totally professional, trustworthy and got our job done very quickly ! They worked around our family of 5 while painting our whole house. They also worked well around the other tradespeople we had coming and going. Most importantly, the painting looked fantastic.
I highly recommend Chromatist painters!
I normally don’t like dealing with contractors, except for those few who truly understand the value of customer service. And Shayan and his team are the best! On time. On budget. Excellent job. Friendly. And Shayan knows that superior customer service is the key to happy customers. I highly recommend Shayan and Chromatist for any painting needs, you will be so happy you did
