Can These Coating Resins Be Tinted or Pigmented?

Which Coating Resins Are Tintable?

Not every coating resin reacts the same to pigments, but many specialist products are specifically designed to be mixed with colourants for decorative work. For example, Vertical Glass is formulated for use on walls and readily accepts a wide range of pigments, including metallics and special effects. Likewise, Art Pro is ideal for creative projects and surface art, allowing clear, even dispersal of tint whether you want bold hues or subtle glazes.

How to Tint Coating Resins Successfully

To achieve a smooth, vibrant finish, always use compatible pigments—either liquid or powder, ensuring they’re suitable for the base resin type. Start by mixing your desired pigment thoroughly into the resin part before combining with the hardener. For a pearlescent or metallic look, opt for dedicated mica or aluminium powders. Work in small batches to test opacity, especially with clear or translucent resins, and remember that curing can slightly alter the intensity of the final colour.

When Tinting Matters Most

• Feature walls and statement surfaces: Adding tinted resin transforms interiors with bespoke colour and finish.
• Artistic applications: Custom colour blends make coasters, trays, and artwork stand out.
• Restoration projects: Pigmented coatings can restore or modernise tiles, cement, and wood without full replacement.
