Molteni Vernici special paints represent technical and aesthetic excellence on the international scene of contemporary surfaces. Unlike traditional paints, created to cover or protect, our finishes are designed to transform every surface into an active architectural element, with unique aesthetic effects and certified performance. These are vertical cycles — metal, plastic, wood, glass and composite materials — developed internally to ensure resistance, chromatic uniformity and durability even in extreme environments. Molteni Vernici special paints are not simple colors, but creative tools available to architects, designers and contractors to create iconic, recognizable and long-lasting surfaces.
Our production is divided into a highly selected collection of special technical finishes, divided by support and intended use:
For metal: galvanic paints, controlled oxidation, artistic patinas, industrial transparents, raw look paints, antiqued surfaces, gilding and bronzing.
For plastic: professional high-adhesion cycles with metallic, soft-touch, sandblasted finishes, fabric effect, live metal effect.
For wood: special treatments with industrial, material, metallic, deep opaque or glossy high-definition effects, vintage brass cycles, delabrè brass and outdoor solutions.
For corten and special steel: advanced priming, permanent transparent protections, natural effect cycles, iridescent finishes and passivating treatments.
For glass and ceramics: technical anchor paints with opaque, glossy and decorative effects for design elements, stained glass, coatings and objects.
Each type stems from a tailor-made approach, developed internally in our R&D laboratory, in collaboration with the world's leading architecture firms.
Yes, it is our strength. But it is so in a selective, controlled and strategic way. Molteni Vernici does not work on improvised “tailor-made” coding: each special finish comes from a rigorous coding, testing, optimization and certification process, with complete and vertical application cycles. However, for high-profile projects or in collaboration with selected studios, we can develop
Ma lo è in modo selettivo, controllato e strategico. Molteni Vernici non lavora su codifiche “su misura” improvvisate: ogni finitura speciale nasce da un processo rigoroso di codifica, test, ottimizzazione e certificazione, con cicli applicativi completi e verticali. Tuttavia, per progetti di alto profilo o in collaborazione con studi selezionati, possiamo sviluppare customized formulations within a closed, traceable process protected by confidentiality agreements (NDA). Personalization is not only about color, but also
La personalizzazione non riguarda solo il colore, ma anche light reflection, material depth, tactility and technical durability, depending on the aesthetic and functional effect required.
Create tailor-made, when you really need it, is part of our distinctive value.
Our finishes are present in the main contract, retail and high-end residential projects. We collaborate with luxury brands, fashion ateliers, art galleries and architectural firms that require not only a distinctive aesthetic but also real resistance on complex surfaces. From Bulgari and Dior boutiques, to international museums, to projects designed by studios such as ACPV, Gilles&Boissier, Patricia Urquiola, and Norman Foster — Molteni Vernici special paints have been chosen to create surfaces that are not replicable, consistent with the vision of the project and capable of resisting over time. All our cycles are validated with specific tests and technical documentation.
Choosing the right cycle depends on three key factors: support material,intended use and desired aesthetic effect. For this reason, there is no generic answer. Our technical-commercial team is available to accompany designers, companies and contractors in selecting the most suitable solution, providing samples, technical specifications and application assistance. Alternatively, they are available Coded Starter Kits for tests on small surfaces, or Experience Box with dedicated thematic finishes (e.g. line Luxury Travel Kit — Patine d'Auteur). Contact us directly for a technical comparison: every project is different, and every finish has a story to tell.
