Product Description

Meoded Sapphire Metallic Sahara Effect is a unique Low VOC pearlescent paint that gives
walls, metal, trim, furniture or any other paintable surface a rich, opulent look of shimmering satin. Whether in homes, offices, or commercial spaces, Sapphire Metallic will give surrounding areas an heir of sophistication fitting even for royalty. Sapphire Metallic Paint is an advanced water-based formula made with fine mica powders giving surfaces a beautiful pearl luster with less environmental impact. Meoded’s Sapphire Metallic is combined with clear glass beads (#5 or #10) to create a beautiful “liquid wallpaper” finish called the Sahara Effect.

The Sahara Effect creates a pearlescent rough yet elegant texture on your wall.
#5: larger beads for a bolder, more pronounced texture.
#10: Smaller beads for a subtler, minimally textured surface.

Coverage

Covers approx. 140-180 sq. ft. per gallon; using the Sahara Fabric technique.

Covers approx. 150-220 sq. ft. per gallon; using the Sahara Line technique

Coverage depends on surface porosity and texture.

Application

Surface Preparation – All surfaces must be clean and free of dust, dirt, oils and grease. Make sure the surface is sound and free of loose and flaking paint. Meoded Sapphire Metallic will not stick to shiny surfaces including vinyl, glass, and semi-gloss/gloss surfaces. Prepare the substrate with the recommended water-based primer over the previously painted surfaces or basecoat. It is recommended to tint the primer to a similar color as the finish coat of Sapphire Metallic.

Sahara Lines Application Method – First Coat: Roll on a layer of Sapphire Metallic

Paint, and allow it to cure completely for 12 hours. Second Coat: Add 3.0 lbs. of glass beads to 1 gallon of Sapphire Metallic paint and stir well. Use a 4” brush to coat the surface creating either horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines. Immediately after, take a clean brush to smoothen the surface and straighten the lines.

Sahara Fabric Application Method – The fabric technique uses a rigatto tool to design

the Sahara fabric look with horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines. First coat: Add 3.0 lbs. of glass beads to 1 gallon of Sapphire Metallic paint and stir well. Use a 4” brush to coat the surface creating horizontal lines. Immediately after, use a rigatto tool to smoothen the surface and straighten the lines. Once the lines have been straightened, take a clean brush to smoothen the lines once again. For full dry time, wait 12 hours. Second Coat: Use a 4” brush to coat the surface creating vertical lines. Immediately after, use a rigatto tool to smoothen the surface and straighten the lines. Once the lines have been straightened, take a clean 4” brush to smoothen the lines once again.

Exterior Application – It is recommended to protect Sapphire Metallic Sahara Effect with Meoded Cristallo Clear for exterior applications. 2 coats will usually provide adequate protection, while 3 coats are recommended for high traffic areas. Cristallo Clear is available in both matte and semi-gloss sheens.
