Comparison piece, half gloss, half matte
A new offer I’m excited to bring to the table is a matte option! Any smooth epoxy work can be finished in matte via a process of surface sanding and polishing to a satin-like texture.
I personally love this effect, and have already seen the benefits of the option for certain homes and offices.
This option is best for:
Collectors who have large windows opposite their display location
Those who worry about fingerprints on a gloss surface
Narrow locations with high traffic volume, or children who will likely bump or scratch artwork
Art without a lot of shimmer effects
This option is poor for:
Collectors who love the high-gloss effect of resin
Art with many shimmer effects
As noted above, artwork with high shimmer effects in the paint lose some of their shimmer, in exchange for crisper edges around each shape. See the image at the bottom of the post for a pure color comparison.
What do you think? Which is your favorite?
Looking forward to next time,
