Amazing @lancang! Acrylic paint in matte finish would absolutely do the trick for mimicking a metal look on wooden surfaces. Otherwise, if a glossy paint texture is applied, the effect of a plastic feel is achieved - contrary to our initial purpose. 👍
Let's just ignore paint names for the time being as I also had some confusion with that in my projects, haha 😁 To solve this dilemma, I usually review the various selections on a color palette chart/brochure and request for actual paint samples. This way, I could be 100% certain of the desired results. 😊
