Real metal finishes on any surface. Copper warmth, bronze depth, brass glow, applied to wood, stone, plaster, foam or steel. Surfaces that look, feel and age like solid metal.
Ronald Britton supplies metal powders for liquid metal coatings, cold casting and decorative metallic finishes. We stock copper, bronze, brass, aluminium and iron powders in the fine particle sizes required for coating applications — typically -200 to -325 mesh. Liquid metal coatings contain 90–95% real metal powder suspended in a binding agent, creating surfaces that look, feel and age like solid metal on any substrate including wood, MDF, plaster, concrete, foam and plastic. All grades ship from our Rochdale warehouse within 48 hours, with full ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification, EcoVadis top 8% for sustainability — placing us in the top 8% of all assessed companies worldwide — and batch-level traceability.
From five-star hotel lobbies to gallery sculpture and film props, metal powder coatings turn everyday materials into something that looks and feels like the real thing.
Each finish is formulated from real metal powders and can be specified on its own or paired with a companion for contrast and depth. Hover a dot to see the pairing name.
