Color on a smooth ground
Painting on metal changes color: it glows from behind because the ground throws light back. Painted mixed media on metal from 1,000 to 2,000 euro is for sale if you want color with gloss and depth.
On polished sheet, paint beads off easily, which is why the ground is often roughened or primed. Where application stays opaque, it reads like enamel, where it is glazed, the metal shines through. This gives a gloss that canvas cannot reach.

Size and tier
In this price tier, paintings on metal often show decent formats on a carefully prepared support. Do not hang them too high, so the reflections work at eye level. Ask in the description about paint type, lacquer and hanging.
Cleaning and placement
A soft cloth is enough to remove dust. Solvents and water attack some paint layers, so avoid cleaners. A place without strong temperature swings spares sheet and paint. Do not scour the surface, not even with microfiber.
