Case Study: Aluminium paint for Richard Wentworth’s site specific painting Agora

For this commission I was asked to create an exterior grade aluminium paint with a flat, reflective finish. The paint I created was a silver dollar style pigment with polyurethane binder for use on concrete and metal surfaces. The finish of this paint is highly metallic with a gloss finish and is hard wearing.
