Gold Heavy Texture
This paint is a luxury, and we’ve made it accessible, just for you. Formulated from our specialized Heavy Body Texture formula, and a bit of magic, this paint closely resembles 14k gold. We have pushed the particle limits of iron and mica to their absolute thresholds to bring you a shimmering metallic gold sculpting paint. As the liquid Gold dries, it transfigures from a lighter pink color into a bright yellow gold, so plan ahead for this magical effect. Mix the Gold Heavy Texture with our Medium Viscosity colors to create unbelievable color combinations that flash and flip in the light. Just like the real thing, our Gold acrylic is quite rare.
Made from a mixture of fine grit iron particles and synthetic mica, this paint has a high sheen and shimmer. When wet it pinks, but dries like gold leaf. We worked tirelessly on this formula to bring you a gold paint like nothing else on the market.
This pigment is a naturally occurring inorganic compound. Opaque, with a glossy sheen, the chemical description boasts Ferric Oxide, Titanium Dioxide and Mica.

What is Heavy Texture?

Heavy Texture is ready-made for gravity defying effects and lasting color. No mixing mediums required. Plus, it's fully compatible with 'regular' acrylics.
We’re a ragtag crew, crafting professional-grade acrylics from the ground up. Embracing a DIY ethos, we ensure our paints are accessible to all artists, supporting creativity without barriers or hefty price tags.

IMPORTANT :)
Transparency is key. Below are some crucial insights into how we operate and what you can expect:
- Restocking: We do not provide restocking timelines. Our stock levels depend on a multitude of factors, and we focus on quality over speed.
- Production: We’re a lean team of five, with just two handling all production. We work hard to meet demand, but there are limits to what we can do. We appreciate your understanding.
- Painting Classes: Our focus is on perfecting paints and getting orders out the door quickly, not on teaching. We're all self-taught artists here at GAM, learning through trial and error. Follow us on social media for occasional tips and tricks. We love sharing our discoveries in real time and learning from artists like you!
- Dry Time: Our paints are water-based, okay? We’ll put it this way, a thick layer of Heavy Texture will cure faster than a thin layer of oil paint. Expect variability in drying times and for the love of god, purchase a cheap plugin fan to speed up drying times.
- Firm Pricing: Prices are set to reflect the quality and care we put into our paints. We don’t offer discounts—our goal is to keep our pricing fair and straightforward.
- Modus Operandi: Our paints encourage bold and voluminous use. Don’t like heavy application? That’s fine, but our style celebrates abundance. Use as much or as little as you like, but we design with freedom in mind.
- Product Consistency: Despite our best efforts to maintain consistency, batch variability is inevitable. It’s part of the charm of buying handcrafted paints.
- Packaging: It’s what’s inside the bag that counts. Packaging aesthetics are secondary to the quality of paint we deliver. Some imperfections are to be expected.
- Team Capacity: We started small and remain a small team. Expansions and improvements are ongoing, but expect some delays. We manage our operations with care, not haste.
4 easy steps to pipe heavy texture
1. Snip It
Cut a small piece off the bag, about 3/4 of an inch. Cut further as needed to increase flow of paint.
2. Twist it
Use dominant hand to twist the top until bag feels firm. Apply steady pressure to force air pockets outs.
3. Squeeze it
Guide the nozzle with one hand, applying pressure with the other to control paint thickness and shape.
4. Clip It
Flatten the open end and clip it for short-term storage. For long-term, transfer to airtight container.
