What Is A Colored Finish?

A Hand-Crafted Finish In Any RAL Color Or With A Metal Surface Liquid Coating

A colored finish provides a myriad of interior design opportunities. Color makes a product truly unique, expressing a distinctive character and style. Products can be painted in any color from the RAL chart, or with a metallic surface liquid coating. The bathtub or washbasin features the selected coating or color on the exterior, while maintaining a sleek white AquateX™ or black NeroX™ interior. Our craftsmen apply several coatings of paint to thoroughly protect the product, increase durability and ensure optimum color retention. We work closely with clients, making sure they find the best colors and high-quality finishes for their products.

How Is The Paint Applied?

Coating is applied to a clean product surface. It is left to dry at a uniform temperature in a special curing chamber for not less than 12 hours. Our specialists then conduct a visual check to make sure the product is truly flawless, before commencing the polishing stage. After the product is polished, another visual check is made. A special varnish is later applied, which is left to dry for approximately 8 to 12 hours.

Finding The Best RAL Color

Explore 200 beautiful colors from the RAL color chart. This is a European color matching system, which defines colors for paint, coatings and plastics. Our team offers 1-1 support and guidance to make sure you find the precise color you need. We can also send you a physical color sample on a small slab. Aquatica has been working with an excellent paint supplier for many years, who provides us with the exact color from the requested RAL code.

What Is MetalX™?

Aquatica’s MetalX™ liquid surface coatings consist of 95% recycled metal powder and 5% proprietary resin binder. Aquatica’s experienced craftsmen combine various metal powders to achieve a stunning liquid metal paint finish such as gold, gunmetal or titanium. This is later blended with our proprietary resin binder system to produce a liquid metal coating that can be applied to the surface. Aquatica’s master craftsman then cures, brushes and covers the surface with a clear protective lacquer coating to eliminate oxidation.

Why Choose MetalX™?

The diverse selection of liquid metal finishes available and the option to mix them in various ratios offers unlimited color and surface texture design possibilities. Each finish is specially hand-crafted by one of our experienced craftsmen, who brings their own unique touch to the task. There are a wide array of high-quality patinas to choose from with different styles available, including a royal design, a vintage look, or a futuristic feel.
