Charm's Silver

• Tjhoko Paint Metallic Paints are not Chalk Paint.
• Tjhoko Paint Metallic paints have real metal shavings to ensure you get a shimering finish every time.
• Tjhoko Paint Metallic Colours are water-based, so you can use them in combination with our Tjhoko Paint chalk paint range.
• They are available in two sizes: 25 ml and 250 ml. 
• There are three colours in the metallic range: Ali's Gold, Charm's Silver, and Am's Rose Gold.

Preparation Guide for Painting with Tjhoko Paint

Glass, Melamine, Metal, Veneer, Previously Varnished Surfaces, and Wall Tiles:

• Clean the surface thoroughly with lacquer thinners.
• Allow the surface to dry for 40 minutes to ensure all thinners have evaporated before painting.

Walls with Water-Based Paint:

• Wash the wall with sugar soap to remove grease and grime.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any sugar soap residue.
• Allow the wall to dry completely before painting.

Walls with Oil-Based Paint:

• Apply a coat of universal undercoat.
• Wait at least 4 hours for the undercoat to dry completely.
• Once dry, proceed with Tjhoko Paint.

Plastic and Waxed Surfaces:

• Sand the surface with 100-grit sandpaper.
• Clean thoroughly with lacquer thinners.
• Wait 40 minutes for the lacquer thinners to evaporate before painting.

Fabric:

• Use only natural woven fabrics, avoiding synthetic materials.
• To achieve even distribution of the paint, lightly mist the fabric with water using a spray bottle. This will help to prevent the fabric from becoming too wet.
• Note that Tjhoko Paint will alter the fabric's texture—test a small area first to ensure you like the result.

Surfaces Treated with Oils or Varnishes:

• Do not paint on surfaces treated with oils like linseed oil or varnish within the last 6 months.

Raw Wood:

• Simply dust off the wood.
• No undercoat is needed, as Tjhoko Paint includes its own primer.

Synthetic Leather:

• Clean with lacquer thinners.
• Wait 40 minutes for the lacquer thinners to evaporate before painting.
• We do not recommend painting natural leather.

Properly storing your Tjhoko Paint will help extend its life. To keep your paint free from contamination, follow these tips:

• Avoid painting directly from the container. Instead, pour a small amount into a separate container before using it.
• Always replace the wax paper over the bottle opening before sealing it with the lid. This helps prevent air from seeping in and contaminating the paint.
• If you need to add water, always use cooled, boiled water. This allows you to store the paint safely without the risk of water contamination.
• Store your paint in a cool, dry, dark place, away from direct sunlight.

• Always apply a base coat of Tjhoko Paint in "Matt Black" or "Sherif Stone" before using metallic colours to achieve a more opaque finish.
• Stir your metallic paints thoroughly before and during application. The metal pigments, being heavier, settle at the bottom of the bottle and must be well-mixed before use.
• Apply two or more coats of metallic paint to achieve a rich, shimmering finish. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
