FolkArt K491 Acrylic Paint, 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Green

Perfect match for my antique gilt wood mirror frame. Not too shiny-new looking, not too orangey or brassy yellow - it's just right. I used this to paint over the white plastic casing on a string of vanity lights that I added to the mirror. It adhered to the plastic with full coverage in 2 coats. I also bought black in case I needed to mute the gold with an undercoat of dark but didn't need it.

Bought this paint to upcycle an old inexpensive garden frog that was originally a boring verdigris stain color..this metallic green was perfect! ..Really brought out hidden texture. I painted the eyes, now it looks like a brand new decorative piece to enhance my garden

It is a cheaper paint I found, so the quality fits the price. You have to shake it before you use it each time or else the golden part of the paint sinks to the bottom and the top layer is too translucent. The end product is shiny. Unfortunately, the color is a bit dull for gold, but you can add a bit of yellow or orange to lighten it up.

Love this paint!

It is water based paint so it is so easy to use it. You can clean your brush and plate after doing the painting job with water and they are back to the original condition for future use. The paint has no chemical smell whatsoever. Just put some on the plate and use your brush to paint it on the clean surface. Let it dry within one hour. I bought this small table and it was too dark for my room. So I use this metallic antique gold paint to give a little color as showed in the attached photo pictures. It looks so much better and classic now in my room. Simple and easy to do with almost no cost, WOW!

The color is perfect.Great cover up perfect for my project thank you

I needed some metallic gold paint for my crafting. It needed to be acrylic so I could adjust the thickness with water and it needed to be nice and shiny. I came across this and it’s really good paint. It’s not too thick and it’s not globby like some craft paints are. You do get a nice shiny finish so perfect for dot painting. I also used it on Xmas decorations and I’ve used it to paint lettering. It flows superbly and holds to the brush really well. With it being water based you just wash your brushes in soapy water. Metallic paints take a little longer to dry and this is no exception. You could second coat it within half an hour but if you are dot painting I’d leave it overnight before rubbing out your chalk stencil marks. I would always put two coats on for metallic paint unless it was very small areas in which case you only need one. This was good value for money and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy this again. I’ve tried a few gold acrylic paints and this is the best one so far.

The small bottle was more than enough to paint the metal parts of my steamer trunk with several coats with some left over. The paint dried very quickly and went on evenly. Several coats were required to get the finish I wanted.

Got this earlier than exoected but somehow was damaged in transit i cleaned bottle up and hope itl be ok to use. Hence only 3 stars..will use it and do a review then. Well i used the silver to paint round sides of resin at 1st i did a coat and left to dry and added another coat ...all 2nd coat did was to muck up the 1st coat. Its very thin an in my opinion a waste of money. Wont buy again

Disappointing. Colour wise it is fine. However the consistency is far too thick and gloopy. Barely able to squeeze it out of the tube and the paint just won’t dilute satisfactorily with water. Is it meant to be rubbed on with a finger? because it certainly can’t be used any other way. If this is not the case I can only assume the product is from a faulty batch or is very old stock.

I was doing leaf printing and the gold embellishment with the gold paint gave a really good finish to the cards and bookmarks I was making.
