Mixing paint to make gold

Recommended Posts

I was looking for a good way to mix gold with Angelus paints. Is there a good combo or do I just need to buy they're gold

I suppose you mean metallic looking gold. No way around it buy the gold. I use their gold, good stuff. So is the pewter and bronze. May need a few coats to get it where it needs to be.

I've used the acrylics from Hobby Lobby and Michael's with very good results.  My wife used the $1 a bottle stuff on a key fob 3nyears ago and it has not faded or chipped despite being knocked around in my pocket for over 3 years.

You can order from Angelus direct. They have an option to pay a little more for rush processing. It's cheaper to order direct from them.
