American Paint Company is the BOMB!

 I am just amazed with this new product and can't wait to try it out!!

Introducing Mica powders. Available in gold, silver, copper, pewter and black. APC Mica is a metallic powder designed to mix with our Wax and Top Coat, adding exceptional elegance and sparkle to your hand painted finish.

 To mix powders, add directly into APC Wax or Top Coat as desired.  The more you add the more sparkle you will get, however a great place to start would be a three to one ratio.  Place three parts of Wax in a separate container then add one part Mica powder and mix thoroughly.

After you have your desired mica/wax mixture, apply wax directly onto your unfinished painted surface.

1. Using a soft bristle wax brush, place a small amount of tinted wax onto brush.
2. Press wax onto painted surface, making sure that it is applied evenly and that tinted wax gets into the crevices and details of your piece.
3. Allow wax to dry then buff with a cloth or rag.
