Helios (Americana Red)

Helios (Americana Red) is a bold, classic red metallic staining glaze — bright, cheerful, and full of presence. Part of the ARTiSTiC ViVATiONS METALLiC line, 2024 Formula 1.

A true Americana red with a subtle metallic sheen: patriotic, vibrant, and versatile. Beautiful on porch furniture, holiday décor (Fourth of July, Christmas), vintage-inspired signage, and cottage-style pieces where you want an energetic pop of color.

A concentrate — a little goes a long way. Dilute with up to 20 parts water, alcohol, resin, water-based clear coat, or any clear catalyst without sacrificing the red's classic energy.

Non-toxic, water-based, self-leveling. Use full-strength for opaque coverage or dilute for a wash. Pairs beautifully with Selene or Mercury for classic red/white/silver combinations.
