Metallics are not easy to work with. I've seen walls where in the light, you can see the metallic and it looks beautiful, yet where there is no light, you just see a solid wall. I find that adding a tiny bit of acrylic in a darker shade than the base coat mixed with the metallic gives me the lights and darks even when there is no light. On this page of my site (http://muralsandfauxpainting.com/texture-paint.html, you can see a picture I have of a wall I did in a hotel. The base is done with tissue paper painted off white and then I added the metallic on top. Nice job. Metallics are not easy to work with.

However it was done , it sure is beautiful!
