Would this look good on the new metallic paper?

I shot this B&W-converted IR in Wisconsin this summer, and the cabin's owner expressed interest in buying a print. Would the new metallic paper option present it any better than the regular lustre I pick? I've never seen any metallic prints in person to know the difference. Thanks!

I think it would
I think it would but the best thing to do is to order a print and decide.
The metallic paper looks great with white and I am sure IR images would be phenominal!

I've got a couple prints my dad had done by MPix on their metallic paper and they look amazing!! I think this image would look awesome on a metallic paper!!

Yes, I printed a bunch of IRs on Metal - SO COOL!

metallic prints are so cool. from the ones ive done (show cars shots) i would say this shot would look great

Absolutely!

The irridescent qualities of the metallic paper would complement the surreal qualities of this shot. The main thing the metallic paper does versus other papers is increase contrast at the expense of some of the subtle tonal gradations. A high contrast shot like this will not suffer on this paper.
