Creative
Industrial-Chic Patio Furniture
Salvage steel chairs, table frames, or metal bed springs and use the metal cleaner/etcher to remove grease, old paint, and surface contaminants. After prepping, apply weather-resistant metal paint or enamel for a durable industrial-chic finish. Add reclaimed wood tops or leather cushions for mixed-material contrast. Great for markets, photo props, or gifting.
Patina & Two-Tone Wall Art
Prepare sheet metal panels or discarded metal signs with the cleaner to ensure even adhesion, then use stencils, masking, and high-contrast color blocking (matte black + metallic enamel) to create modern two-tone pieces. For patina effects, selectively etch and apply layered paints so the finished piece shows both raw texture and polished highlights.
Upcycled Tool & Hardware Sculptures
Collect wrenches, gears, and machine parts; degrease and etch them thoroughly so welds and paints take consistently. Assemble into lamps, coat racks, or tabletop sculptures. Finish with direct-to-metal paint for a cohesive look or highlight parts with metallic accents. These make distinctive home decor or gallery pieces.
Custom Metal Planters & Garden Art
Turn drums, buckets, or sheet metal into planters and outdoor sculptures. Use the cleaner/etcher to prep surfaces, then protect with rust-inhibiting enamel or oil-rubbed finishes. Combine with laser-cut patterns or hand-cut silhouettes and add drainage or hanging hardware for a finished product line for garden centers or markets.
Restored Vintage Signage
Source old metal signs or advertising plates, strip contaminants with the cleaner, and lightly etch to restore paint adhesion. Recreate missing graphics with hand-painting or vinyl overlays, then seal with a durable clear enamel. Restored vintage-style signage appeals to collectors, restaurants, and boutique retailers.
