Palettes & Paints: Modern Masters Metallic Wall Paint - Gardenista
Wanting to experiment with metallic paints, we asked members of the Remodelista + Gardenista Architect/Designer Directory for their recommendations.

And when using metallics, several painters told us to stretch our dollars by first priming with a comparably colored latex paint and then adding the metallic on top.
We tried Modern Masters in six colors and varying degrees of opacity; here are our results.
Top row, left to right: Modern Masters Warm Silver; English Brown; and Ivy.
Modern Masters sells six-ounce Sample Pots for about $16 each on their website.
Though the name is a bit misleading, we think opaque Warm Silver is the perfect gold.
English Brown is an opaque, grown-up color that would make a nice addition to another dark latex paint.
Semi-opaque Ivy is my personal favorite.
Silver is an opaque, metallic silver that would work just as well on architectural details (or objects, such as terra-cotta pots) as on a whole wall.
Semi-opaque Black Pearl means business.
Sheer Flash Copper, one of several colors in Modern Masters sheer line, is meant to be applied over a wall of regular latex paint or over another metallic hue.
Another view of English Brown.
I painted a single swipe of Ivy on a garden pot I’d previously painted in Farrow & Ball’s Mole’s Breath.
