Shiny metallic gold paint?

4 months ago

Hi, I am looking for very shiny metallic gold WALL paint. All of the ones I am finding either look flat or orange or yellow or brown. I want the wall to look like actual shiny gold metal. Any ideas please? Thank you

Consider a wall paper instead. Even if you can find a paint you like it will show every imperfection

You could use gold leaf and apply it yourself. It's very time consuming but the results are amazing.

I love dark walls and I think your hall with the shiny floors and the right finish on the wall make it special. You already have the wrought iron, which definitely dictates a certain look. I hesitate to recommend a specific color from my monitor, but look at the BM colors in the 1037’s through the 1078’s and see if there is something there which looks good with the tile.

Which mirror above the fireplace?

Snan, The bottom oval one in Eskandari's photos would also work in your room (or something like that). The oval shape visually gives height to the room which would work for you as well. I know that shopping around can sometimes be exhausting, but if you were up for the search that would be another option if you're not sure about the round one you have already. I would also look for something that combines the elements of your wallpaper as well as your fireplace (if you are not planning on changing it) in order to bring those together, i.e. try to bring in the color tones of the two.

Mixing antique brass and polished chrome in the dining room & kitchen

What I'm actually wondering though is about mixing the metals - so having the chandelier and lamps with the touch of silver - or would I be better to source antique brass lamps like I have in some other rooms in the house - I kind of wanted to feature quite a bit of glass, and generally the glass comes with chrome, but I'm not sure if it's too modern for the sideboard etc, and mores worried about the clash of metals, but something tells me it might be ok in this instance! I have chrome taps and rainfall shower head in new bathroom and kept with antique brass for the light fittings and door/press knobs. Also yes the room is small but that's not an issue - it is what it is and I'm fine with it!

It is fair comment on not so pretty tiles and unfortunately you can't do much with the floor here because it covers too large area. On a picture you can see only lounge area, which is actually part of the kitchen. Tiles cover floor in the kitchen, lounge area and dining room. Extra large rug wouldn't make it better. This project has two tough points: tight budget and timing.

Here are some suggestions for UK brands and options to achieve that dazzling, true gold wall:

1. High-Shine Metallic Paints:
- Rust-Oleum Universal Metallic Spray Paint - Pure Gold: This spray paint boasts a brilliant, reflective finish resembling polished gold metal. It's suitable for various surfaces and offers good durability.
- Zinsser All Surface Metallic Paint - Brilliant Gold: This acrylic paint can be brushed or rolled onto walls and provides a high-shine, reflective finish with a hint of warmth.
- Hammerite Direct to Rust Metallic Gold: This paint has a hammered finish, which adds texture and depth to the gold, creating a luxurious, antique gold look. It's also ideal for rusty metal surfaces.
2. Layering for Extra Shine:
- Base coat: Use a reflective silver or white base coat before applying the gold paint. This helps amplify the reflective qualities and enhances the shine.
- Clear coat: After applying the gold paint, add a clear coat with a glossy finish. This will further protect the paint and boost the mirror-like shine.
3. Specialty Brands:
- Green Stuff World Metallic Paint - Shiny Gold: This acrylic paint is specifically designed for miniatures and models but works well on walls too. It delivers a highly defined, crisp metallic effect with exceptional shine.
- DecoArt Americana Extreme Sheen - Champagne Gold: This acrylic paint has a pearlescent sheen that gives off a subtle, glowing gold effect, perfect for a softer, elegant look.
Additional Tips:
- Sample pots: Purchase small sample pots to test different brands and shades before committing to a large quantity.
- Lighting: Good lighting plays a crucial role in highlighting the shine of the paint. Consider adding spotlights or strategically placed lamps to enhance the effect.
- Preparation: Proper surface preparation is key for a smooth, even finish. Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free of any imperfections.
Remember: Different gold shades have varying undertones. Choose a shade that complements your overall design and desired ambiance. Warm golds tend to feel inviting, while cool golds offer a more modern vibe.

I hope these suggestions help you find the perfect shiny metallic gold paint for your wall!
