Silver wall

There is aluminum paint, Rustins do one, & it will give you that brilliant silver color.

 

All the usual retailers sell silver emulsion paint

 

There is Crown Metallic Emulsion range available, Aspen silver is the colour, can get tester pots.

 

Quite a few interior designers are/were using aluminimum paint for the 'wow' effect on a wall,etc, would be too shiney for me.

But, there are now quite of range of metallic paints,look at Craig & Rose range, which are becoming more popular, in the USA metallic paints they are all the rage.

Just need to go to B&Q, Homebase even Wilkinsons sells silver paint in various guises

The main problem is that the paint will show up any defect in the wall and if it isn't applied consistently it will look very blotchy

 

Good argument for spraying it here I reckon.

 

Push the boundary, use silver leaf

Failing that 3 in 1 foil.

Have seen silver wallpaper.........somewhere, search 'Wallpapers Direct'.
Just had a look on that sight, plenty on there.
