In today’s design world, clean lines and minimalism are giving way to something richer: texture, contrast, and authenticity. More than ever, interior designers are turning to metal finishes to create focal points, enhance materials, and add dimension to a space.
What’s making headlines? Aged metal. Not corroded, worn-down pieces—but purposefully aged finishes that tell a story. Enter Polychrotina™, a powder coating developed by H-Town Coaters that brings the look of oxidized beauty to the heart of interior design.
Polychrotina™ isn’t paint. It’s not a faux finish. It’s a trademarked and proprietary powder coating that simulates the appearance of naturally aged metal using a specially engineered color formulation—exclusive to H-Town Coaters.
It’s designed to mimic the rich hues and gradients of aging steel, copper, or iron, but with none of the flaking, dripping, or unevenness that comes from paints or chemical patinas. The result? Designers get the exact vintage aesthetic they want, with the reliability and consistency they need.
There’s a reason vintage never goes out of style—it adds warmth, contrast, and a lived-in feel that resonates in both commercial and residential interiors.
