<script type="application/ld+json"> {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I brush Motor Coater to get a metallic sparkle finish?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Spraying Motor Coater produces the best metallic finish because the spray process allows the metallic pigments to float to the surface, creating the metallic sparkle. When brushing is the only option, brush out the Motor Coater, let the coat cure for a few minutes, then lightly brush the surface again in one direction. This helps float the metallic pigments to the surface for a nice metallic sparkle finish. As with all painting techniques, practice makes perfect. Be sure to review the Motor Coater Application Directions before beginning your project."}}]} </script><p>Spraying <a style="color:#cc0000;text-decoration:none;" href="https://kbs-coatings.com/motor-coater" target="_top"><strong>Motor Coater</strong></a> produces the best metallic finish &mdash; the spray process allows the metallic pigments to float to the surface, creating that distinctive metallic sparkle.
