Thanks for this. Would of been great if we could have seen the actual test sheets properly 😣 I couldn’t tell which paint had the most high gloss chrome look to it. I did look up the testors one and the site I found it on said it should only be clear coated with a 1814, 2736 & 2936 clear coat as these ones won’t dull the metallic finish and strip the leafing. Do you know if you have to have the clear coat? Does it add that chrome look to it with these test paints? I’m wanting to make some photo frames go from the gold or silver chrome look to a copper or rose gold, as well as possibly make some pvc pipe look like copper.
I'm watching this to see which looks the most like real gold. I'm going to paint my AR-15 and I want to make it stand out compared to the rest of the guys with basic camo designs on their.
Rustoleum Bright Coat is by far the best gold finish from a rattle can. If you treat it with the Alclad lacquer it will be a great gold that will last with an enamel clear coat. However, if you're using an airbrush to apply the Alclad you might as well make Alclad Candy Gold or Gold Titanium. If you aren't going to use an airbrush you need to let it cure for a month.
Ha ha! I was going to do this. I'm grateful for your effort. I only got as far as two products. I was looking for a dull gold look and I ended up preferring Krylon K08990000 SUPERMAXX All-In-One Spray Paint in "Gold Metallic" over the only other one I tried, which was Rust-Oleum 245221 Universal All Surface Spray Paint in "Metallic Pure Gold." I think the Kr. ran less during painting and adheres better now, but I can't say that for sure.
I just bought 3 different types of gold spray paint, all looked rubbish, sort of a dull orange with poor relection. So I tried gold leaf which has to be the most difficult thing I ever tried, applying is a nightmare, but it looks so much better than any spray paint.
I have never had them look like the lid! It's weird. I just color identify and texture identify with the lid. I usually tag the lid with a bit of the paint so I can see what it REALLY looks like.
Ok, i need some help pls. I have to gold paint a metalic lamp and i don't know what to use. Paint it with brush or to use metallic gold spray? Spray is more convenient but the paint is durable enough and gold shiny like regular paint?
Most often, no. They need a lot of post processing and proper clear coats to be durable. This may be a rub-n-buff application to keep it durable. Airbrushing would he ideal, with a lacquer coat.
Hiii, I watched this probably around the time you posted it. Thank you for sharing. I'm looking for the brightest, or lightest shades of gold and want a matt finish. So I'm watching again to see if the info is here.
I would say that testors gold is the best for that. The short can that I don't focus on too much. The enamel is great, bright on smooth surfaces, and can be dulled. I worked with a friend to do some YuGiOh card tombs with it, and they were good.
@@cainesarmoury8962 I have a lot of things to paint gold, light fixtures and such. I found another video that showed how bright one brand in a regular size can was. I might try that one.
Sure! It works just fine, but dulls the gold just as any other clear coat does. However, I have not tried the 2k clear coat catalyst to see if it does it as well. It is more of an epoxy style clear coat that bonds differently. I will need to try it some day, I actually have a can ready to go!
I would recommend talking to a body shop about that. You have heat requirements that most paints can't handle and there are very few gold paints to choose from. I used Engine Block paints but haven't seen them in chrome gold, just glitter style dull.
I have used both and they are very similar. But I used Testors in this video and would suggest them as easily as I suggest Tamiya. Testors is more wild in their color palette and Tamiya is for model miniatures.
That's because of material adhesion. This is where primer layers are important. Etching Primer on plastics and metals. Regular primer on most other materials. Never rely on the paint on its own for adhesion, it won't.
Wooden boxes? Cardboard? I have to say that either or it is about the primer. You must prime, sand, and then give it a coating of a gloss black. Since it's so porous that will create a surface that doesn't like moving but you can focus on which color you like best.
I would use lacquers. Airbrush lacquers retain a lot of detail so the record grooves wouldn't be lost. You could then give it a clear coat with guitar lacquer finish. For a good bit of symbolism.
Sorry for missing this. MDF is extremely absorbent. It would take a good 10 layers of primer before it would be ready to take a paint like this. You could coat it with 75/25 mix of wood glue and water. Sand it, and give it 2-3 coats of primer.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm still learning and growing. Moving up from just a cellphone and a desire to share. I'll do some more work on a gold painting video and share some more techniques. Hopefully the editing and focus will improve there.
thnx for the vlog ! i tried metallic gold rustoleum (with the picture frame on the can) & it tends to fade. i heard rustoleum metallic bright & shiny finish (with a sunburst on the can) is little less bright but has a nice tone. am trying to coordinate it with rustoleum chalked tate green ... any suggestions ? thank you in advance. have a wonderful day ahead... John 3:16-18 He's (Yesu/Jesus) returning soon ...
That is true, but it can't be done on everything. If I wasn't using foam it would be a good direction. The rougher and more flexible the material, the more problematic gloss becomes. Such as cracking and tearing.
They lay a heavy layer down that I don't like. I prefer Rust-oleum because the spray is finer and gives me more control. 2x coats dump so much in an area they're bad for detail work. But, if you're in a hurry the one and done philosophy works.
@@cainesarmoury8962 I'm not talking 2X coats I'm talking 2K coats. They usually have an activator on the bottom of the cans. A lot of people like these for bikes and cars since the paint doesn't wear down as much as standard spray paint.
@@Acemans thanks for the clarification. My brain saw 2x. I am familiar with the one use activators! They're highly superior especially in the clear coat department but I have very few chances to justify the costs. I have not used anything else other than the clear-coat though.
You are a pain in the neck
Oh wow, my first negative comment. Does this mean I'm getting popular?
@@cainesarmoury8962 all this badassery in just one comment
And Mike.. You are a NASTY TROLL
Wow you went into alot of detail, great work. You've probably helped more people then you know doing this test.
Thanks for the help saved me a lot of money.
tu for taking your free time to share with us
OMG I struck GOLD with this video! LITERALLY!!! I've been comparing all the cans wondering what the difference is. #helloG.O.A.T

Just a little cell phone camera. No high quality equipment here. Sorry.
OOooh thank you so much for this!! I wasn't sure which brand to go with! You're very funny and I thank you for going into detail! :)

Thank you, I'm really getting into spraying painting to refurbish and reuse. Also, you crack me up. 😄👍
Do I? Thanks. You got me blushing here. And you're welcome.
Thank you for doing this!
You're very welcome!
A lot of the gold spray paints I've bought don't look anything like the lid!

@@cainesarmoury8962 Yesss. Good idea. I forgot about that. Thank you so much for your info and responses.
You're adorable and funny, too.
I like the nc arcylic gold spray paint
Design Masters spray paint has been used in the floral design industry for decades.

You should review Montana blacks gold paint
Have you ever tried 2k clear coat with them golden metallic ?
Sure! It works just fine, but dulls the gold just as any other clear coat does. However, I have not tried the 2k clear coat catalyst to see if it does it as well. It is more of an epoxy style clear coat that bonds differently. I will need to try it some day, I actually have a can ready to go!
Thank you for this video!!
Very informative
I'm looking for a metallic gold to do my motorcycle rotors and possibly the rims
What do you recommend
I would recommend talking to a body shop about that. You have heat requirements that most paints can't handle and there are very few gold paints to choose from. I used Engine Block paints but haven't seen them in chrome gold, just glitter style dull.
Should u wait for the paint to fully dry before applying the clear coat??
At least 30 minutes. But you don't want it to cure for more than 24 hours.
Have you considered 2k paints and clear coats? They seem to look and last better.
Testors or Tamiya?
I have used both and they are very similar. But I used Testors in this video and would suggest them as easily as I suggest Tamiya. Testors is more wild in their color palette and Tamiya is for model miniatures.
Thanks for this. Too bad these aren't sold in my country!
For some reason gold rust oleum comes off easily compared to the other colors
That's because of material adhesion. This is where primer layers are important. Etching Primer on plastics and metals. Regular primer on most other materials. Never rely on the paint on its own for adhesion, it won't.
Cool! Thanks 🙏
Question: Which spray is recommended for boxes? Thanks
Wooden boxes? Cardboard? I have to say that either or it is about the primer. You must prime, sand, and then give it a coating of a gloss black. Since it's so porous that will create a surface that doesn't like moving but you can focus on which color you like best.
@@cainesarmoury8962 sorry carboard
you should have had longer sample boards so we can see the difference more vividly and spent more time ranking your top 2 or 3 pts on the boards.
You're right. I need to update this.
I want to paint a apple watch in gold shine but not too shine what pain do you recommend please for it for the best results
I would focus on lacquers, which are not covered in this video. Modeling lacquers go on thinner and can be shiny, reflective, or dull-ish.
Im trying to craft a gold record as a grad gift for a friend which one is best for that in your opinion? I would use a real record
I would use lacquers. Airbrush lacquers retain a lot of detail so the record grooves wouldn't be lost. You could then give it a clear coat with guitar lacquer finish. For a good bit of symbolism.
I melted my 24k gold necklace and mixed it with a clear coat and looks like real gold. True story.
When I spray paint Rust oleum elegant on MDF, I get silver colour. What shall I do to get gold elegant
Sorry for missing this. MDF is extremely absorbent. It would take a good 10 layers of primer before it would be ready to take a paint like this. You could coat it with 75/25 mix of wood glue and water. Sand it, and give it 2-3 coats of primer.
Thank you for the video!

Just a thought for video editing see Adam savage tested. I'm interested in seeing these paints tested but got nothing from this long winding video.

rustoleum and montana gold are the best

I learned if u spray it over a high gloss black it have better results
That is true, but it can't be done on everything. If I wasn't using foam it would be a good direction. The rougher and more flexible the material, the more problematic gloss becomes. Such as cracking and tearing.
That's true yeah it will be hard to get good results over foam

Fight me. XD

I have upgraded my mic now! I might suck a little bit less now.
