Is pigment customisation possible with vertical resins?

Adding colour to resin opens up a world of creative potential, especially for vertical projects like feature walls or custom artwork. Many vertical resins can be tinted to suit your design vision, enabling unique artistic effects or seamless blends with interior decor.

Which Vertical Resins Are Suitable for Pigment Customisation?

Several high-viscosity epoxy and UV resins are designed for vertical and sloped surfaces, and these typically support the addition of pigments. For example, “Vertical Glass” thick resin wall coating and Art Pro Deluxe both allow for easy mixing of metallic or solid pigments. This means you can achieve anything from bold shimmering accents to subtle matte tones, while still maintaining a resin consistency that prevents the pigments from running or sagging.

Tips for Adding Pigments to Vertical Resins

Choose compatible pigments: Always use pigments recommended for epoxy or UV resins—these disperse evenly and retain colour vibrancy.
Blend thoroughly: Mix pigments into the resin slowly to avoid air bubbles and achieve a uniform shade.
Test before full application: Try your pigment mixture on a small sample or inconspicuous spot to ensure it meets your expectations, as colours may appear different once cured on vertical surfaces.
Limit the quantity: Adding too much pigment can affect the curing and strength of the resin. It’s best to start with small amounts and adjust gradually.

When Pigment Customisation Matters

Customising pigment in vertical resins is especially valuable for feature walls, artistic installations, and decorative panels, where matching a specific colour scheme or producing unique effects is critical. For detailed raised patterns, a product like Fairy Wings UV resin allows you to add dual colours for intricate 3D results.
