## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the paint adhere to laminate?**
A: I haven't tried it but I used it on plastic urn planters- I made sure to sand them with fine grain paper so it would adhere. They (MM) sell primer and would be worth the investment, depending on the project. MM have great tutorials on their site and are very active on Pinterest. It's am AWESOME paint. I am a repeat buyer! Enjoy & good luck!!

**Q: I am learning to electroform, is this paint conductive?**
A: I took the multimeter and did a continutiy test.  It did not register as being conductive.  I was thinking the same as you, sir.  I 3d print and electroplate.  I guess I'll stick with the graphite paint for now.

**Q: what kind of coverage do you get with 16 oz**
A: 16 oz covers 25 sq feet with two coats, evenly applied on a smooth surface
gallon covers 400 sq feet with just one coat, half that with two coats

**Q: Would there be any problem painting an outlet wallplate with the copper reactive paint? And is plastic or metal better?**
A: I used on plastic model and also metal

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Authentic looking
*by  on Reviewed in the United States October 22, 2025*

Great product easy to use , after dried looks authentic. Painted on pedestal of a copper top table gorgeous

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Any Modern Masters product is excellent!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States May 17, 2013*

I have used Modern Masters products for many years. I am an avid amateur home remodeler and decorator. I have been to classes for faux finishing and was taught how to paint by professionals. I spend a lot of time researching products before I buy and frequent forums where professionals exchange ideas and give advice. Invariably they recommend Modern Masters brands and say that it is a waste of their time to use other products that are sold to do-it-yourselfers.This brand is higher priced than other brands, but when you use them, you see how much farther the paints go and how better they perform when you need that extra "open time" to perfect the look you want to acheive. There is far more pigment in the paints and the metallics are very true and realistic. In fact they are so real that you can use various patina solutions that react with the metals in the various metallic paints. I also purchased all the patina solutions to acheive various color patinas. You can search "Modern Masters Metals" and find all of them. I am doing a copper leaf finish on a wooden window frame that houses a stained glass piece measuring 4' by 4'. I will use the Modern Masters copper paint to do any fill-ins of blank spaces and then I will treat it with the chemical patina for the end result.Modern Masters has such a wide variety of unique products, some of which are unfamiliar to the inexperienced painter. I recommend doing a little homework first. I can almost promise you that there are no cheaper substitutes. I have tried and failed many times. I compared and found them wanting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We liked the end result.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States August 1, 2026*

My daughter applied 2 solid coats with a cheap paint brush. Went on smooth and dried quickly. Followed up with a third coat on the flames only applying a coat of mm green patina product along the egdes while still wet. Waited until we saw a little bit of patina showing wixh was 40 plus min. and then sprayed more green product with a small spray bottle a few more times. We were overall happy with the end result.
