How to paint a room with Melfort Color Metallica

Looking to give your home a regal, festive touch? Choosing Melfort color metallica is a brilliant way to elevate any living room, pooja room, or master bedroom accent wall. Offering the rich warmth of a true golden colour, this premium paint colour brings an elegant, luminous glow to Indian homes.

Here is a quick, straightforward guide to getting a flawless, streak-free finish.

What You’ll Need

• Melfort Color Metallica Water based
• Base coat (cement primer)
• Paint tray
• Short-nap roller (felt or foam)
• Angled brush
• Putty blade, acrylic wall putty, and sandpaper (180/320-grit)
• Masking tape and plastic drop sheets

1. Wall Preparation

Scrape off loose plaster and fill any cracks or uneven surfaces with wall putty. Once dry, sand the wall smooth with fine-grit sandpaper and wipe away every trace of dust with a dry cloth. Protect your skirting boards, switchboards, and ceiling borders with masking tape, and cover the floor with drop sheets.

2. Apply Base Coat (Cement Primer)

Apply an even layer of your base coat (cement primer) across the surface. This seals the putty, ensures strong bonding, and provides a uniform foundation for your top finish. Let it dry completely for 12 hours.

3. Open, Stir, and Pour

Open the can of your golden paint colour and stir it well using a clean wooden stick. Once stirred, pour the paint into your paint tray, taking care not to overfill the ribbed roll-off section.

4. Cut In and Roll

Use your angled brush to cut in neatly around switch plates, door frames, and corners. Next, load your roller evenly in the paint tray, rolling off any excess. Apply the golden paint in steady, uniform downward strokes from ceiling to floor to ensure an even, patch-free sheen.

5. Apply the Final Coat

Allow the first coat of colour to dry fully as recommended. Apply a second thin coat with your roller for rich, uniform coverage. Peel off the masking tape before the paint fully dries to avoid chipping at the edges.

Once dry, your Melfort Color Metallica wall will catch the warm indoor lighting beautifully, adding a timeless, royal charm to your home decor. Pair this stunning shade with warm white ceilings, brass decor accents, or rich teakwood furniture for a complete look.
