Gold glitter and spray paint!

katieJ2b, 26 April, 2016 at 11:48 Posted on Planning 0 11

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good gold spray paint and nice sparkly gold glitter? There are so many different shades and brands and you can't always tell what the colour is going to come out like.

Has anyone got any pictures of their DIY projects using gold spray or gold glitter so I can see the finished result? I am looking for more of a dull gold, rather than the bright yellow gold - if you know what I mean?

Thanks in advance!x

    Probably not much help but I've been using Wilko's own brand silver spray paint and found it has a really good coverage and finish and is a lot cheaper than other brands. They do a gold version too - http://www.wilko.com/metal-and-specialist-paint/wilko-enamel-spray-400ml-metallic-gold/invt/0413843

    Ohh, this is fab, thank you! Just out of interestwhat kind of things have you been spraying? I've got some photo frames to spray - first in the long list of items (I feel I'm going to get carried away and become Goldmember from Austin Powers!) - just wondered whether I needed to think about using a primer??!

    Exactly what I was going to say! 'Antique Gold' seems to be less 'Yellow' than just 'gold' in my experience of sourcing all things 'not too in your face yellow but still gold' (Though not spray paint... yet!) ?

    Antique gold! That's it thank you!! Seen so many colours and shades it's making me go bananas!! They can be quite expensive so don't really want to waste money if I can help it.

    I used antique gold spray for Aldi was on offer for dirt cheap, as always you can't always get stuff in aldi but keep an eye out for it. I spraying everything in sight to jar lids, mason jars and frames etc. I also made glitter table numbers and mason jars and old candles. I use modge podge like someone else and then got my glitter from amazon and ebay super cheap. I mixed in light and dark gold, plus some holographic silver because it really makes it twinkle it's beautiful. I got some pics but not great quality. I will upload more soon.

    Rach - this is exactly the colours I am looking for!! Would you mind if I were ever so cheeky and asked which seller you got the different glitters from?!

    Ok so on amazon here is what I got and I mixed all 3 together in a pot. I'd advise to get two tubberwear containers, one small to put the glitter into and a large one that you can hold your item over so that the excess glitter falls into the larger container and you can reuse. I just bought one of each and have tons and still got a bit left.

    I've also mixed this in for the glitter table numbers as well just to make it a bit chunkier and sparkly.
