Modern Masters and More

So, I love Modern Masters metallic paint.? I’ve used it for years and pretty much know which color would work without having to look at a paint deck.? I have wanted to try out other metallic paint lines, such as Blue Pearl or Faux Effects, just to expand my horizons but you know?the old adage: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.??That’s why I keep using Modern Masters — it’s my comfy Linus blanket.? (But don’t get me wrong — I will soon come out of the box and try the other?lines, perhaps with a class.? I’m like a crow: anything new and shiny does pique my curiosity.)

The reason for my post?? Oh, yes — did you know there are?10 new Modern Masters metallic colors???You can see them right on the front page of their website.? My favorites are the (clockwise from top left): Camel, Nickel, Black Cherry and Black Pearl.

I was a little?surprised at the new Burnt Orange but then remembered this pic which I featured back in The Color of Fall post.? Who’d have thunk orange trim would work so nicely?

BTW, on the Modern Masters website, I discovered that they posted some cool recipes and techniques under the “What’s New?” banner.? I especially like?the Shimmer Rust finish, which mixes their lustery plaster with their reactive metal patinas.??Yummy.

Have a great day!
