Gold glitter and spray paint!

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.

Hey

i have been using "modge podge" glue and rockstar nail art glitter off of eBay. I'm so pleased with the results, would defo recommend. I used it for cardboard letters and votives

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.

When you’re looking for a dull gold rather than bright yellow gold, try these finishes:

✅ Antique Gold Spray Paint – gives a more muted, vintage gold look rather than shiny bright gold.
✅ Satin or Matte Gold Spray – not too shiny, perfect for décor that’s elegant without the bling.
✅ Brushed Gold Finish – subtle shimmer with less reflective shine.

💡 Brand ideas: Rust-Oleum, Krylon, and Montana both make good gold variants. When buying, look for words like antique, brushed, or satin in the finish name.

For glitter, it depends on how sparkly you want the end result:

🔸 Fine-cut gold glitter – gives a delicate shimmer (great for classy projects)
🔸 Medium gold glitter – balanced shine, catches light well
🔸 Chunky gold glitter – really sparkly and bold

Pro Tip: Mix fine and medium glitter together for a textured, rich sparkle that still looks elegant.

Here are some ways people use gold spray paint and glitter:

🟡 Painted picture frames with antique gold spray and a dusting of fine glitter for subtle sparkle.
🟡 Mason jars with a glitter gradient — more glitter at the bottom fading up.
🟡 Wooden letters coated in satin gold spray, then highlighted with medium glitter around the edges.

✔ Always test paint colors on scrap material — photos online can look different in real life.
✔ Spray in thin coats — better coverage and less drips.
✔ Seal glitter with clear spray or Mod Podge so it stays put.

Hi,

Gold glitter and spray paint can really transform a plain surface into something eye-catching—it’s amazing how a little sparkle can completely change the feel of a room or object.
