Benefits

The additive offers large coverage, with 400g giving roughly 64m² of sparkle according to the manufacturer, so a little goes a long way. It’s waterproof and fade resistant which helps maintain the finish in rooms with occasional moisture. Once mixed, the glitter disperses evenly in flat, matt, sheen or silk finishes as well as in wood varnish or lacquer. The included buffing pads let you remove the paint film over the glitter to enhance reflectivity and control how bold the effect appears. A small limitation to note is that achieving a perfectly uniform glitter spread depends on careful stirring and application technique.

How to use it

Start with a clean, dry surface. Add 100g of glitter additive to every 1L of paint and stir for a few minutes until the glitter is well distributed. Apply with roller or brush as you would normally. After the paint is fully dry, use the supplied buffing pads in circular motions to expose more glitter where you want extra sparkle. It’s simple enough for beginners yet flexible for experienced decorators. It’s a good fit if you want a decorative shimmer without changing your usual paint type.
