Transform Ordinary Surfaces With New Krylon® Stainless Steel Finish

Metallic Makeovers: Quick, Easy and at a Fraction of the Cost

CLEVELAND — Warm. Comfortable. Inviting. These are all words that we would like to describe our homes – and a good reason why finishes in home design and décor projects have emerged from shiny metals to more textured, warm hues like oil rubbed bronze, satin nickel and stainless steel.

Krylon®, the nation’s leader in spray paint, is excited to round out its metallic finish offering with the introduction of new Krylon Stainless Steel Finish, a unique spray finish that creates a high-end stainless finish on any ordinary surface in just minutes.  For interior and exterior use on home improvement projects, the new Stainless Steel Finish features flakes of actual stainless steel infused in the paint for an authentic-looking appearance that creates a stylish and durable surface for a variety of your household projects.

“Nearly 75 percent of homeowners lean toward traditional or transitional styling, so it’s no surprise that homeowners are updating their homes with popular finishes to meet these design needs,” said Donna Schroeder, Krylon color marketing and design manager. “Stainless steel is quickly becoming one of the most popular finishes for interior design and home improvement projects.”

For use on wood, metal, iron, glass and many other surfaces, the new Stainless Steel Finish provides an exciting new look that is both quick and affordable.  From furniture and most appliances, to accents and accessories, home DIY projects can easily be transformed into the new finish.  And, unlike most competitive products that brush on – Stainless Steel Finish features a spray actuator for a smooth finish without brush marks.

Krylon Stainless Steel Finish is available at local hardware and home center stores with suggested retail prices of $5.75 to $7.75. All Krylon aerosol paints are in compliance with the California Clean Air Act for Aerosol Coatings and the California Low Emissions and Reactivity Rule (CLEAR).
