APL22300
Gold-leaf effect paint, silver (pearlescent)
Solvent-borne metallic paint with a pearlescent sheen that imitates leaf gilding (here silver) at a fraction of the cost. For decorating wood, metal, PU foam (PPU), glass and similar. Interior use only. Abrasion resistance is lower than a 2K enamel, so top-coat it with acrylic lacquer where it will be handled.
- decorative detailing on furniture, frames, carvings and mouldings
- faux silver-leaf on wood, metal, PU foam and glass
- accent details in special-effect finishes
Single-component product: no mixing needed — use as supplied (see application below).
Ask about APL22300
Answers are based on the APL22300 data and the products it mixes with.
Mixing matrix
Dealer: S30 or S13 (dealer table labels them 'thinner for PE / for PU'). Per the catalog both are FAST: S30 for PU, acrylic, PE and UV materials; S13 for stains, patinas, PE primers, PU, acrylic and UV materials. Either works; being fast, in heat or on big flat panels they can give dry spray — work quicker, in smaller sections.
Dealer gives 30 by weight / 35 by volume. Stir the settled pigment back in fully before thinning.
- S10Thinner
The potal catalog lists S10 at 30 parts by weight for APL 2xxxx liquid potal; not confirmed by the dealer for the APL223xx effect line.
Possible substitute when S30/S13 are not to hand (inference, not manufacturer-confirmed for APL223xx). S10 is fast with high diluting power (catalog).

Application
HVLP
- Nozzle
- 1.3–1.4recommended
- Pressure · air
- 1.8–2.0 at inlet (≤0.7 at the cap)recommended
- Spray viscosity
- 14–18 s DIN4recommended
- Coats
- 1–2 light, even coatsrecommended
- Flash-off
- 5–10 between coatsrecommended
- Recoat
- acrylic lacquer after ≥1 hrecommended
- Sanding between coats
- do not sandrecommended
Gun 15–20 cm off, 50 % overlap, steady pace — stripes and clouding on metallics come from uneven passes. Keep the edges wet.
Conventional spray
- Nozzle
- 1.2–1.4recommended
- Pressure · air
- 2.5–3.0recommended
Gives more even flake lay-down than HVLP, but more overspray.
Brush
- Consumption
- not published (dealer gives 60–80 g/m² for brush on sister APL22157)recommended
Dealer lists brush application — for details, carvings and touch-up. Use soft brush, little or no thinner, and don't overwork it.
Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- Lay it over a ground of similar colour (special-effects catalog): PPS20 white primer, 2 coats → PPL RAL enamel in a matching shade → potal → lacquer.catalog
- Goes over
- PPS20 / PPL RAL
- Goes under
- ATL500
- Sanding
- no sanding of the potal coat; sand the enamel under it P400–P600 before applicationrecommended
- Temperature and humidity
- 18–25 °C, RH 50–70 %recommended
- Don'ts
- don't use outdoors
- don't spray it without stirring thoroughly — it settles hard
- don't sand or polish the potal coat
- don't leave it unlacquered on handles and edges — it wears through
- Topcoat caution
- Over-coating with gloss lacquer changes the effect (dealer note on APL22157, catalog note on chrome APL21081) — do a test panel first.recommended

- 1 kg (all colours); 5 kg only for APL22300, APL22301, APL22303dealer
