Marco Polo Luxury - Decorative Paint Metallic Finish (1 Litre, Silver)

Product Information

The Decorativi Minerali with 180 colours (plus 28 deep shades for Grassello di Calce) is a unique tool in the world of Italian decoration, it presents a huge variety of off-white and light colours along with a wide selection of darker shades. A: Due to the acrylic nature of this finish it’s exceptionally durable, but as it only applied on a single coat it can be scratched by harder materials. On the other hand it’s very easy to repair it, only a sponge and a few drops of the paint are needed and the finish will be like new!

A: This product is suitable for any DIY, but please be aware that artistic and/or multicoloured applications do need a specialist! Marcopolo is not only easy to apply, but you can create a variety of 3D effects, similar to stones or prestigious (metallic) wall papers. As the finish dries very fast you should make sure to create the effect a few minutes after putting the paint on the wall, one square metre at a time. A: Although technically (after priming the surface) it can be applied, it’s not recommended as the texture of the tiles won’t be covered.The Continuo microcement chart shows 3 real samples with matt, satine and glossy protectors plus the colours from C600 to C646 There's so much choice out there when it comes to paint and it can be difficult finding the right colour and finish for your home. There's also a whole range of brands to choose from including Dulux paint, Farrow & Ball colours, Valspar and our own GoodHome range. Make sure to put on our Universal primer before applying this paint and for an outstanding effect apply it with an Italian special effect brush and create the effect with a tobacco sponge.

Cadoro and Cadoro Velvet displays the five bases (silver, gold, aluminium, bronze and copper) with Cadoro Velvet, a silver sparkly base and base Ardesia, for darker shades. The Marcopolo Luxury paint is similar to another decorative finish, Marcopolo, but due to it’s finer grain has a more refined, elegant appearance. Almost every bit of the grain can be taken away with a sponge so please touch it only very lightly when creating the effect! A: This metallic finish has exceptional colour resistance and no colour change has been observed yet. A: As Marcopolo is an acrylic paint, colours are 99.5% accurate and repeatable, but please be aware that the colour is affected by the product’s iridescence. Metallic paints, as they reflect the light much more than standard emulsions, will show different effects under different lights and eventually each observer will see different shades from different angles.As the finish dries quite fast (touch dry in 30 mins) the look should be finalised one square metre at a time. Presented colour ranges per brochure as of 2016 Continuo: C600-C646, with the following real, applied samples C603 with glossy protector, C600 with satin, C613 with matt A: This Italian finish should only be sanded and primed, or alternatively, the texture can be covered with fillers or gypsum plaster. Most of the grit can be taken away with a sponge in case you’re looking for an almost smooth or barely textured finish.

The princess was made to marry Arghun’s son. The Polos, meanwhile, stayed on with Arghun’s brother for nine months before heading to Venice via Trebizond (now Trabzon, Turkey), Constantinople and Negrepont (now Euboea, Greece). They arrived home in 1295, the year after Kublai’s death sent the Mongol Empire into an irrevocable decline. Marco Polo in Venice Kublai, who generally relied on foreigners to administer his empire, took Marco Polo into his court, possibly as a tax collector. At one point, the Venetian was sent on official business to the port city of Hangzhou (then called Quinsai), which, like Venice, was built around a series of canals. Marco Polo also purportedly journeyed across inland China and into present-day Myanmar. Marco Polo was born around 1254 into a prosperous merchant family in the Italian city-state of Venice. His father, Niccolò, and his uncle Maffeo had left the year before on a long-term trading expedition. As a result, he was raised by extended relatives following his mother’s death at a young age. Niccolò and Maffeo first spent about six years in Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey), which had been under Latin control since the Fourth Crusade of 1204. The two brothers then went to the port city of Soldaia (now Sudak, Ukraine), where they owned a house. A: The surface only needs to be lightly sanded, the new finish can be applied straight after the primer is dry.

After many years of seeking a release from service, the Polos finally secured permission from Kublai to escort a young princess to her intended husband Arghun, the Mongol ruler of Persia. In 1292 the Polos joined a flotilla of 14 boats that set out from Zaitun (now Quanzhou, China), stopped briefly in Sumatra and then landed in Persia 18 months later, only to find out that Arghun was dead. A: You should sand the whole wall with 40 to 120 grit (start with the finer 120 grit) then, if the surface is smooth enough you can re-apply the paint! No re-priming or other base coat is needed IF the paint was thoroughly removed. A Genoese-Venetian peace treaty in 1299 allowed Marco Polo to return home. He probably never left Venetian territory again. The following year, he married Donata Badoer, with whom he would have three daughters. Not much is known about his golden years except that he continued trading and litigated against a cousin. Marco Polo died in January 1324, having helped to inspire a later generation of explorers. Everything we know about him comes from his own text and a few Venetian documents; Asian sources never mentioned him. When it comes to colour, the current most popular options are white and grey paint for an ultra modern and clean look, ideal for frequently changing rooms. A paints finish will affect the overall appearance, feel, and durability of your paint, so it’s important to understand the differences to achieve your desired aesthetic. Matt paint has a non-reflective finish, chalk paint has a matt, shabby-chic finish, while eggshell paint is low-sheen and durable. Additionally, satinwood paint has a subtle sheen and is great for interior woodwork, while gloss paint is high-shine and ideal for exterior woodwork and metal surfaces.Products applied on a larger areas might slightly differ from the samples presented, due to the fact that samples are limited by size and that the application method (the tools, skills and approach of the applicator) can significantly affect the final look. Please be aware that Universal Primer is needed to ensure the quality and durability of a Marcopolo Luxury paint finish, without this the paint might fail and doesn’t show the right look! Marcopolo presents the five base colours of the product (silver, gold, aluminium, bronze and copper) beside Sable, a matt ‘argento’ base. Did you know? Christopher Columbus purportedly sailed to the New World with a copy of Marco Polo’s “Travels” in tow. Thinking he would reach Asia and having no idea about the Mongol Empire’s collapse, Columbus marked up the book with notes in preparation for a meeting with Kublai Khan’s descendent.
