How Iron Orchid Designs Paint Inlays Work
When applying IOD Paint Inlays, the artist-quality proprietary paint bonds with your freshly painted surface. Once the paint dries, the carrier paper peels away, revealing an authentic, hand-painted design. This design has a rich, buttery texture that feels almost leather-like to the touch.
The process differs from traditional transfers by leaving only paint behind—no film or plastic—just genuine pigment blended seamlessly into your surface. Your project will look and feel like it was hand-painted by a skilled artisan, resulting in unique, high-end painted furniture décor.
