How to Use Traditional Gold Metallic Paint

1. Stir the paint well before use and always carry out a patch test on several areas before applying it to your project.
2. The surface should be dry and free from dust before painting. If you are applying Traditional Gold over Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, make sure the Chalk Paint is completely dry first.
3. Apply Traditional Gold using an Annie Sloan Flat Brush or a suitable detail brush for smaller decorative areas.
4. One thin coat will create a translucent shimmering effect, while two coats will give a more opaque and lustrous metallic finish. If applying a second coat, allow the first coat to dry completely for approximately 3–4 hours before recoating.
5. For the best results, apply thin, even coats rather than trying to achieve full coverage in one heavy application.
6. Annie Sloan Metallic Paint is intended for interior use and is not suitable for exterior surfaces.
7. Traditional Gold has built-in protection, so there is normally no need to apply Chalk Paint Wax or Lacquer over the metallic paint to seal it. For especially high-traffic areas, additional protection can be considered where appropriate.

Using Traditional Gold on Furniture

Traditional Gold is particularly effective on furniture when you want to introduce metallic highlights without covering the entire piece in gold.

Use it on mouldings, carved details, edges, decorative panels and furniture features to draw attention to individual areas. It can also be used across larger surfaces when a more dramatic metallic effect is required.

Traditional Gold works especially well over dark Chalk Paint colours such as Graphite and Athenian Black. The contrast between the dark painted surface and warm gold can create an elegant, dramatic finish.

For a more traditional or aged appearance, use the metallic paint selectively on raised details and allow some of the underlying Chalk Paint to remain visible.

Using Traditional Gold for Decorative Details

Traditional Gold is ideal for adding decorative details to painted furniture and interior projects. A small amount of metallic paint can be used to highlight raised areas, mouldings and intricate details.

It can also be used with stencils to create decorative gold patterns on furniture and walls. A small sponge roller can be particularly useful when applying metallic paint through a stencil.

For a layered painted finish, Traditional Gold can be combined with Chalk Paint and other decorative techniques. Applying the gold selectively rather than covering the entire surface can create depth and make individual features stand out.

Traditional Gold has also been used to recreate gilded and distressed effects on furniture, particularly where you want metallic paint to appear through areas of wear or around decorative details.
