General Finishes Pearl Effects, 1 Pint, Burnished

General Finishes does it once again. I bring life back to old, forgotten pieces of furniture paint by using chalk paint on them. I have tried many other companies that claim to have a good pearl effect glaze, only to be disappointed.General Finishes delivers what they advertise! The pearl finish goes on smoothly and effortlessly. The finish is awesome! I did a little girl's bedroom set and it turned out beautifully. Cleanup is a breeze with soap and water.Don't hesitate to purchase this, especially if like me, want the end result to be beautiful.

I wanted to update my review, I have used this on about 10 pieces of furniture already. I love it and it pays for itself! It's been about a year and I still have about 1/3 of a can left. I mix this with my clear coat and layer it on like I would normally do with my finishes. I purchased Argentine and it's absolutely gorgeous! I am getting ready to try a different color..maybe champagne. Way to go GF for making quality products that look beautiful and never let down!

BEAUTIFUL and easy to work with!! Very versatile! We used the paint as is to make black light fixtures a beautiful copper and blended the copper with black paint to add a beautiful copper hue to our countertops. We also watered it down to do a glazing effect on our caninets today! Yes, definitely mix it well with a properly sized paint stick to blend up the glitter and paint and then there's countless projects this paint can do!! A little goes a very long way!!

I loved this product. Make sure you add a water-based clear paint to it because it is a little thick and stir really well. This pint-size goes a long way. My dad and I refurbished this desk, a changing table, and a twin size day bed frame with just 1 pint and we still have about a quarter left in the bucket.

The product will leave the small metallic flakes in your brush, so I opted for throw away rollers and foam brushes. When you receive it, the metallic pigments will be in a big clump so you do have to take some time to stir it well. Other than that I love how my pieces turned out.

I love , Love this color. Covers beautifully and this brand is one of the best brands on the market .

This is not an easy paint to use and get a good finish. i found after many tries is the best way is to dilute it substantially. If you don't dilute it and put it on in light coats the metallic particles will clump together forming ugly silver streaks all over the surface. Light coats and a roller helps spread them out. It takes many coats to get a nice strong pearl finish but it looks great once its done. Im still on the fence about this paint. Its too expensive to be so difficult to use. Or shall I say the problem is on white surfaces. On darker surfaces the streaking isn't as visibly pronounced but on white, one wrong move and you will have a long gray streak.
