With a small brush, paint frames with Resene Enamacryl Metallic. They used Resene Silver Aluminium. They chose not to use a basecoat in order to achieve a brushed-metal effect, but for a smooth finish, undercoat first in Resene Lumbersider tinted to the recommended basecoat colour.

To protect the metallic finish, topcoat the frames in Resene Clearcoat UVS (for outdoor use) or Resene Aquaclear (for indoor use).
