aluminum paint definition

Aluminum paint is a type of lacquer or industrial paint that contains aluminum powder employed for use as a decorative effect; it gives off a silvery, mated appearance.  Though resistant to tarnishing, aluminum paint does not exude the same luster that silver leaf lends to a surface.  It is useful in industrial and commerical products/projects, but is not appropriate for gilding because of its texture and leaden characteristics.
