Can Metallic Colors of Motor Coater Be Brushed?

Spraying Motor Coater produces the best metallic finish: the spray process allows the metallic pigments to float to the surface, creating that distinctive metallic sparkle. That said, spraying isn't always an option, and we get that.

Pro Tip: The Two-Pass Brushing Technique

For a great metallic finish when brushing Motor Coater, use this two-pass technique:

  1. Brush out the Motor Coater and let the coat cure for a few minutes.
  2. Lightly brush the surface again in one direction only. This second pass floats the metallic pigments to the surface, giving you a beautiful metallic sparkle finish.

As with all painting techniques, practice makes perfect.

Before you begin, review the complete Motor Coater application instructions for prep, thinning, and coat guidance.
