How do I brush KBS MAXX to get a metallic sparkle finish?

Spraying KBS MAXX 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 KBS MAXX, let the coat cure for a few minutes, then lightly brush the surface again in one direction. This second pass 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 KBS MAXX Application Directions before beginning your project.
