APL22303
Liquid gold-leaf effect paint, bronze (pearlescent «Effect» series)
Solvent-borne metallic paint that stands in for real gilding: it mimics leaf gilding with a pearlescent sheen at a fraction of the cost, giving gold and silver imitations in various shades. Abrasion resistance is lower than 2K enamels, so overcoat with acrylic lacquer where needed. The dealer lists only a thinner (no hardener), i.e. single-pack. No official t-color.ru page.
- Decorative finishing of wood, metal, PU foam (PPU), glass and other materials
- Suitable for interior work
- Faux bronze gilding on carving, frames, mouldings, door panels and furniture accents

Dealer: S30 or S13 at 30 % by weight / 35 % by volume. Both are fast thinners per the Technocolor catalog (S13 also for patinas and PE).
No hardener. Stir the settled flake up from the bottom completely before adding thinner.

Liquid-potal catalog (classic APL2xxxx line; APL223xx not on its colour card): S10 at 30 parts by weight. Using it on APL223xx is a workshop assumption.
S10 is a fast thinner with high cutting power (catalog); in the heat the spray can dry in the air and leave a dry, rough surface.

- Why ru
- Параметры распыления не опубликованы; применена стандартная практика HVLP для металлизированных базовых покрытий к жидкому 1К металлику на растворителе.
15–20 cm distance, 50 % overlap, steady even passes — flake orientation depends on it. Finish with a light mist pass from slightly further back to kill cloudiness. Keep the gun square; on carving, hit it from every side.
Conventional spray
- Consumption
- 20–30dealer
- Why ru
- Страница методов: пневматическое распыление — универсальный метод с переносом до 40 %; настройки стандартные для жидких металликов.
More overspray and waste than HVLP; fine for small decorative parts.
Airmix (air-assisted airless)
- Nozzle
- 0.18–0.23 mm (07–09 thou), fine-finish tiprecommended
- Why ru
- Дилер указывает только краскопульт и кисть; airmix/airless избыточны для декоративного слоя 20–30 г/м², а сильная склонность к оседанию делает насосные системы рискованными.
Not the preferred method: flake settles in hoses and pump. Do not use without an agitated pot.
Brush
Soft brush (synthetic or squirrel), short strokes in one direction; don't work it once it starts to set or you will drag the flake and leave streaks. Good for picking out carving and edges.
Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- Apply over a base of similar colour (special-effects catalog, «Жидкая поталь» page).catalog
- Goes over
- PPS20 / PPL RAL
- Goes under
- ATL500
- Sanding
- Scuff the base enamel at P320–P400 before the potal; never sand the potal itself.recommended
- Topcoat
- Overcoat with acrylic lacquer if needed (dealer, APL22303). The note that a gloss lacquer changes the effect comes from the sister APL22157 page, not the APL223xx page.dealer
- Topcoat tip
- First lacquer coat light and semi-dry so the lacquer's solvent doesn't move the flake; then a full coat. Always make a test panel — bronze shifts/darkens under lacquer.recommended
- Temperature and humidity
- Shop 18–25 °C, RH up to 70 %.recommended
- Don'ts
- Don't use it without stirring thoroughly — the pigment settles hard
- Not for exterior use — interior only
- Don't leave it unlacquered on surfaces that get handled or rubbed
- Don't sand the potal coat
- Don't add hardener — it's single-pack

Safety: Solvent-borne: flammable; spray in a booth with extraction, wear an organic-vapour respirator (A2) and gloves; keep away from ignition sources. (Recommendation — no official SDS found.)
