MetallixTM | Rosco

Metallix™ metallic scenic paint combines a mica-rich formulation, low-VOC water-based vehicle, and a satin reflective finish to create show-ready metallic surfaces that perform beautifully under stage and camera lighting.

Pigmented with finely milled mica instead of metal flakes, Metallix™ delivers smooth, even metallic coverage that resists corrosion and maintains its sheen over time. Scenic artists can brush, roll, or spray Metallix™ onto properly primed surfaces to create gilded trims, shimmering props, metallic textures, and architectural details that read clearly from the audience and on screen.

Available in quart and gallon sizes, Metallix™ can be tinted with universal colorants or mixed with other Rosco scenic paints to produce custom metallic hues and glazes that match your production’s palette.

Designed for professional scenic shops, Metallix™ brings together versatility, safety, and visual impact in one metallic system.

• Mica-based metallic paint – no metal flakes, no corrosion, smooth satin sheen.
• Water-based, low VOC formulation suitable for indoor theatrical and studio use.
• Six curated metallic finishes: two golds, silver, pearl, bronze, and copper.
