If you want to create a **metal leather edge**, you must follow a well defined procedure. To get this specific finish you must proceed with **two different applications:**

1. Base color;
2. Metal gloss. **Let’s see some example**

### Silver Leather Edge Fashion Finish:

1. **Apply black color;**
2. **apply the silver metal gloss.**

### Gold Leather Edge Fashion Finish

1. **Apply ochre color;**
2. **apply the gold metal gloss.**

The **standard metal finish** is available in **6 colors**:

- Bronze;
- Gold;
- Green;
- Blue;
- Violet;
- Silver

Check the base color and the metal gloss combination[ in this specific table on our webshop](https://shop.leatheredgepaint.com/en/metal-gloss-leather-edge-paint.html).

## How to create a silver metal edge

**You need:**

- Black color;
- Silver metal gloss;
- [Edge paint applicator](https://shop.leatheredgepaint.com/en/edge-paint-pen-applicator.html).

**Instructions:**

1. Apply the black color on the leather edge. You can chose among basic, semidense or dense edge paint;
2. Let it dry completely, it will takes around 30 minutes at room temperature;
3. Once it’s completely dried, apply the silver metal gloss;
4. Let it dry completely. In this case, the drying time is a little bit longer, about 45 minutes at room temperature.

## Extra tips

Metal gloss contains metal powders, that deposits on the bottle floor. Stir well before proceed with the application.

If you are working with a large width leather edge or if you want a big consistency leather edge, you can use the [basecoat dense](https://shop.leatheredgepaint.com/en/leather-edge-basecoat-dense.html), before proceeding with metal finish.
