Pictor Brushed Brass - Clear Satin Lacquer Astor Metal Finishes

Pictor is Brushed Brass with a satin clearcoat, which is a lovely pale matte gold. The brush strokes are visible under the lacquer. This distinctive style can be fantastically showcased when combined with darker satin bronzes, timbers, stone and an off-form concrete!

Pictor finishes are often used to highlight metal joinery details and fixtures without the reflectivity of typical brasses. Brushed Brass is more lemon in colour than the rich red undertones of Brushed Gold.

Application

Can be applied to any metal including aluminium, brass, stainless steel & mild steel. Often specified for doorware, handrails, retail fittings, signage, furniture, retail & shop fitting joinery.Part of the process to attain this finish includes manual scotchbrite brush polishing the brass. On large format panels and complex shapes, this brush polishing process will result in limitations to consistency.For items in direct contact with water, consider an unlacquered Brushed Brass finish to prevent tarnishing under the lacquer. OR Pegasi = Brushed Gold + Clear Satin which does not tarnish even if the lacuqer is broken or damaged, or if water comes from under the metal profile.
