How to Apply Moonshine Metallics
Applying Moonshine Metallics is simple and beginner-friendly:

- Prime with Bonding BOSS – For best adhesion, apply Bonding BOSS to create a solid foundation, especially on slick or shiny surfaces.
- Apply a Base Coat (Optional) – For more vibrant color and added depth, apply a base coat of Chalk Mineral Paint in a similar or contrasting shade.
- Apply Moonshine Metallics – Stir well before use. Apply with a synthetic brush or roller using smooth, even strokes.
- Let It Dry – Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying a second coat for full coverage and intensity.
- Finish and Protect – Depending on your project, you can leave it as is or seal with a topcoat like Dixie Belle’s Clear Coat for added protection.
Tips for Success
- For more depth and intensity, apply Moonshine Metallics over a base coat of Chalk Mineral Paint in a similar or contrasting color.
- For a distressed look, lightly sand edges after the paint has dried.
- Try blending two metallic shades together to create a custom, multi-tonal finish.
- Mix Gold Digger and Rozay to create a beautiful, unique rose gold finish.
