SHEFFIELD 1301 Lilac 2oz Metallic Paint

Product identity

Sheffield Bronze Paint 1301 Lilac is a water-based metallic coating sold in a 2oz container. It suits DIY decorators and professional painters who want a shimmering purple finish on primed walls, ceilings, trim, furniture or paintable wall coverings. Real metallic particles create a rich, non-tarnishing look for accent pieces or large architectural projects. The paint is formulated for both commercial durability and straightforward home use.

Practical limits

The coating requires a clean, primed surface and cannot be applied directly to bare metal, raw wood, glossy laminate or unsealed plaster without preparation. It re-coats in 30 minutes and dries to the touch in 1 hour, so scheduling multiple coats means planning for that minimum interval. Clean-up is limited to soap and water while the paint is still wet; once cured it resists simple removal. A protective topcoat is recommended for maximum longevity, adding an extra step to the workflow.

Upgrade context

This product replaces standard flat or satin latex paints when a decorative metallic shimmer is the design goal. The jump is worth it when the specifier wants real metal and pearlescent particles that catch light differently from conventional pigments. It does not satisfy buyers who need a high-build textured coating, a one-coat opaque hide on dark substrates, or a finish that can be scrubbed aggressively without a clear topcoat.
