Gold Heavy Texture
Description
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.

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.
sculpt with paint
Achieve multicolored compositions up to six inches instantly, with lasting color fidelity and durability.
Mix Paints, not mediums

Our in-house manufacturing cuts out the middleman, allowing emerging artists to experiment freely without the high costs.
FAQ
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time varies based on humidity, temperature, and paint thickness. Takes about 60-90 minutes to dry to the touch and at least 5-7 days to fully dry. Use fans to speed up drying.
Can I use Heavy Texture on canvas or other surfaces?
Utilize wood panels when working with Heavy Texture for optimal paint structure; the bounciness of canvas can be a hindrance with large volumes of paint.

Can I mix Heavy Texture with regular acrylics?
Our 'regular' acrylic paints, Acrylic Colors collection, are made to be mixed with Heavy Texture. While Heavy Texture is mostly compatible with other acrylic brands, results may vary. Conduct a small mixing test to check compatibility and consider using gaffrey paints for best results.

This is the first time I buy Gaffrey Gold Heavy Texture Acrylic Paint. Just curious of how it worked, took a small amount and let it dry. It is spectacular the light that reflects and of course, the texture of it is dreamy! Here is my test of the paint with direct and undirect light.
I cannot get over how awesome this stuff is. I used an entire bag on one piece of art so I need to order some more now. I was a bit hesitant at first as the paint looks almost like an orange-ish salmon color in the bag, but when it dries it is absolutely stunning. Bright, metallic, and vibrant gold.
The gold heavy texture acrylic paint is incredible to work with, both on its own and blended with other paints. Super-rich color!
