Hi All

Pearl or pearlescent moulding
Re: Pearl or pearlescent moulding
Depending on the shape, the best way is to get some cheapo moulding and spray it with a rattle can of
auto paint. The metallics are available in a huge range. I think you can get pearly paint....

Re: Pearl or pearlescent moulding
you can get pearlescent or glitter vinyl, you can vinyl wrap the moulding before cutting to lenght , I would over cut each length by and 2cm ,then wrap the moulding then cut to finished length

Might seem expencive, but the roll are around 60cm wide so on a 90x90 cm frame you could easily cover for less than a tenner + P&P

Re: Pearl or pearlescent moulding
This is some vinyl I applied to some moulding around 12 months ago, it's still on there and looking fine, I think that you could do the same with pearlescent or glitter vinyl and it would work

Re: Pearl or pearlescent moulding
Wow, that looks stunning, Steve
I've looked at the MDP web site and there are some great vinyls there. I assume you apply it to bare wood mouldings but is it easy to apply? I can envisage getting air bubbles or creases in it.

Re: Pearl or pearlescent moulding
I applied that to a finished moulding, that one was one of the PRAGUE range from Simmons, I used a finished on as the finish is nice and smooth, the vinyl is less than a 1mm thick , so need a good finish otherwise the grain would show
