Unicorn SPiT Metallic Mercury is for crafters and DIY enthusiasts seeking to add a rich, luminous metallic finish to various projects. Its key benefit is the creation of unparalleled shimmer and sheen due to iridescent mica, transforming ordinary items into masterpieces. A potential caveat is the concentrated formula which may require dilution for certain effects, and the need for appropriate surface preparation for optimal adhesion.

Yes, Unicorn SPiT Metallic Mercury can be used on most plastics. For best results, ensure the plastic surface is clean and free of any release agents. Lightly sanding the surface can also improve adhesion.
The paint is typically touch-dry within 30-60 minutes. However, for full cure, which provides maximum durability, allow approximately 72 hours. Avoid heavy use or cleaning of the project during this curing period.
For an opaque finish, use the paint at full strength and apply multiple thin coats. Ensure each coat is touch-dry before applying the next. Proper surface preparation is key for a uniform look.
Yes, you can mix Unicorn SPiT Metallic Mercury with other water-based paints or mediums. However, mixing with other metallic paints may alter the unique shimmer effect. Always test any mixture on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Yes, it is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. For enhanced durability on outdoor projects exposed to the elements, it is recommended to apply a clear, weather-resistant topcoat after the Unicorn SPiT has fully cured.
Unicorn SPiT Metallic Mercury is a true metallic silver. Its reflectivity and shimmer are enhanced by the iridescent mica, giving it a bright, luminous silver appearance.
The formula is highly concentrated. Dilute with a small amount of water until you achieve a smoother, more workable consistency. Stir gently.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and clean. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to become touch-dry before applying the next. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to keep the mica particles suspended.
Clean application tools immediately after use with soap and water. If the paint has dried, you may need a solvent suitable for acrylics or metallic paints, depending on the tool material.
Apply paint using long, smooth strokes in one direction. For a smoother finish, consider using a high-quality synthetic brush or a foam applicator. Lightly sanding between coats (once dry) can also help achieve a smoother surface.
