Gunmetal & Gunmetal Silver Liquid Metal Finishes
Gunmetal & Gunmetal Silver Liquid Metal Finishes
Gunmetal & Gunmetal Silver Liquid Metal Finishes are the epitome of contemporary style. Dark, cool, and commanding, gunmetal is associated with strength, sophistication, and industrial chic.
Gunmetal Silver a unique Metalier blend of gunmetal and aluminium, adds a futuristic sheen with a lighter, brighter polish.
Both can be taken to a very high sheen using Metalier's fully water-based liquid metal system.
Gunmetal Light Texture
Gunmetal is a bronze alloy in a cool, bluish-grey tone, long associated with weaponry and engineering strength. In a light texture it feels touch but refined, industrial yet sleek, created with Metalier's fully integrated water based liquid gunmetal system.
Gunmetal Silver Smooth Finish
Gunmetal Silver polishes to a high, bright finish. Smooth and luminous, it feels technical, futuristic, and effortlessly modern, perfect for high end commercial and residential environments.
Because it contains tin, an expensive metal, true gunmetal has always sat in the "quiet Luxury" class. In Metalier form, you get that same engineering pedigree and understated glamour as a thin seamless skin, applied with our fully integrated water-based system.
See how gunmetal finishes come to life in fireplaces, chimney surrounds, feature walls, kitchen islands, and an exceptional bar in London.
Gunmetal and gunmetal silver finishes come to life in many design features, bathroom walls and cupboards, kitchen islands, barn doors and fireplaces. Gunmetal also made a serious statement on the reception area walls in an engineer's office.

Introduction to Metalier’s Water-Based System
The Gunmetal STORY
Gunmetal is, technically, a bronze alloy a mix of copper, tin, and zinc. Despite its heritage, it doesn’t take a patina; its allure lies in smooth surfaces and strong textures. Gunmetal Silver, created by blending aluminium with gunmetal, carries the same strength but adds brightness and futuristic polish. Together, they give designers two faces of modern metallic sophistication.
Design applications are as striking as the finishes themselves. Gunmetal and Gunmetal Silver have been used for fireplaces, kitchen islands, bar fronts, and feature walls. Texture amplifies their drama as in the fireplace surround and kitchen island, while smooth finishes make reception desks and bar counters glow with high tech elegance.
Though historically used in weaponry and engineering, today gunmetal is prized for corrosion resistance and luxury appeal. It is one of Metalier’s most premium finishes chosen not for history, but for its commanding presence and design versatility.
With Metalier’s fully water based, eco friendly system, these metals deliver bold sophistication in a sustainable, modern form.
