Review on Modern Masters 1 Gal ME700 Black Pearl Metallic Paint Collection Water-Based Decorative Metallic Paint by Mike Castro

I got this paint twice. First, couple of years ago, I used it to paint the groves on some closet doors and a couple of drawer pulls. This time, I painted my black metal coffee and end table.When I painted the grooves on the doors, I bought an empty (new) lip gloss click pen and filled it with the paint for ease of application. It worked great on those groves. Still, it did take 3 thick coats and even 4 in some areas.For the end table, I did kilz primer first for adhesion then a million coats (5-6) of this paint then polyurethane.For the coffee table I smartened up, put a blob of the paint on a piece of paper and got a color match from home depot (was told numerous times by the home depot guy that he can't give me metallic and had to confirm I am clear on that and want it anyway). So I got away with primer, color match regular paint as base coat, then just 2 coats of this paint and then polyurethane. No difference in the end result between the end table and the coffee table.Some notes:*This paint has an interesting, almost gelatinous texture.*It does not have harsh smells.*It really does look metallic in the end.*It does take multiple coats, frustrating and after the first coat or even second it still looks totally sheer but after additional coats it starts to look as you'd expect.*Because it is metallic, i.e. shiny, it is harder to see and so paint evenly because of the way the light hits at different angles. Don't know if that makes sense, but if you try it you'd know what I mean right away. Just as you think its all done, you move it, the light hits it from another angle and boom theres 3 spots you missed that looked just fine before you moved it.*The jar i got 2 years ago had about 1/5 left (just a finger on the bottom) but to my surprise was still good, no difference in texture, etc after sitting for 2 years.*I have not had any issues with chipping, durability etc. But I have always used it over kilz adhesion primer and finish with polyurethane so maybe that played a role. On the flip side, I never sanded before painting with it, I just figured the primer is enough.*It will take multiple coats on your project but the tiniest droplet will stick to your clothes immediately and permanently (will not wash off!)! I ended up with a little on the shirt I was wearing and could not get it out so I made a few more "artistic" brush strokes on it and the shirt is now upgraded from plain to metallic print lol.*Totally worth the effort and multiple coats! In the end, it let me update the tables I have and keep them rather than spend couple of hundred dollars on new.Love it, beautiful rich color, 10/10 would recommend!
