Jacquard Lumiere Paint Met Silver 2.25Oz

I am thoroughly enjoying using this paint, it is giving me the desired effect I was hoping for.I've seen some reviews saying it is so thin/coverage isn't great ect. Almost all metallic paints will be transparent to a point, especially if spread out thinly, try using a darker acrylic basecoat first.In my painting, I've used a medium brown undercoat & only one coat of the Lumiere Gold, working it in small sections, with the brush strokes going in different directions. In the video I've included, this is one coat, again, smaller section & a good even layer will give you the ultimate effect & really, it dries so fast so working on smaller sections is the way to go.I've barely used anything from my pot for the amount of coverage I have on that canvas, I'd say this is well worth the price & this pot will last me a good while.This paint also mixes really well with other acrylic colours to give a soft metallic sheen.I hope you find this review helpful.

Lovely paint easy to use and clean brushes ,fab colour very authentic.

I love this gold paint. Good consistency, beautiful gold colour, covers well and dries relatively quick.Not cheap but worth every penny

The colour of this paint is beautiful, reminiscent of a scarab beetle. I have knocked off one star as it has started to look more green as it has dried rather than the initial blue green it was when wet.I used it to stencil ferns on to an old ottoman that I had painted first with chalk paint and the colour went on smoothly and easily.This is a lovely paint and I will definitely buy other colours in this range.

Good gold paint and colour

This small jar goes a long way. The coverage is reasonably good and the colour is a nice pearlescent shade. The density of the colour can be built up by applying several coats. You can also achieve different results by applying it over different base colours. For example, if you apply it over black, it gives a very antique brass colour, but if you apply it over white, it gives a much warmer golden colour. The price point is reasonable. I have used it on a light fitting, and it has covered fairly well although it took several Coats to provide coverage.

This is not as it appears . Its a very saturated light colour compared to the picture . I have the old paint and at the top is the new paint. In the pictures advertised it looks more crimson red. As you can see , it's more sparkling gold . Only good thing is it goes on well .

Here's a pic to show the difference between this and Rustins.The thing in my hand was painted with Rustins and is a dull off-browny beige colour. The tip of the floral whatsit is painted with this. Both are three coats, no primer. This paint is MUCH nicer looking!I would highly recommend if you're looking for a nice shimmery gold paint as it looks really good. I can imagine it being nice for all sorts of crafty decorative stuff. It'll probably look great on wood too if you protect it with a good varnish.However.. if like me you're looking for something to paint metal with, this probably isn't the right one for you. Yes it looks lovely but it's acrylic so is soft and rubbery and that's not great on a medium as tough as metal. If you wanted to sand out brush strokes for example it will ball up and peel off, so that's not great. That's not to say this is bad paint, it's just the wrong type!My hunt for a decent gold metal paint continues but this is a really great looking acrylic if that's what you're looking for. I will definitely keep it for other projects.TL;DR: Much nicer than Rustins for wood and crafty stuff

This product was recommended by an artist I follow who paints onto fabric. She swears by the quality and I agree They are beautiful and easy to work with. These are now my favourite fabric paints

This paint is amazing!I used the Old-Brass #548 for the two projects I'll talk about here. One was for an old and unique styled and scale lamp with olive-green ceramics between a brass base and neck. The other project was for an Asian-styled jewelry chest I received as a gift during college in '91/'92: The handles are casted metal with a brass finish. I couldn't replace the handles because they are a non-standard screw-hole spacing and overall size/shape.--------------------------------------------------------------------Pros & Cons--------------------------------------------------------------------+ Opaque, smooth and consistent brass-color coverage with wet or full brush+ Can achieve a brushed but full coverage with dry brushing technique (requires decent to good brush too)+ cleans with water easily, even out of material if cleaned quickly (no drying)+ covers texture imperfections/damage on real brass when using a layered approach- expensive if you are doing a large projectBEST SUITED FOR: Smaller and or detailed projects; people needing a brass appearance on metalSUGGESTIONS: Prep your surfaces, use good brushes; Be patient and take your time for a consistent appearance------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lamp Project ------------------------------------------------------------------------Bought the lamp base in a thrift shop for $5... it was a STEAL. I rewired it with a kit from Lowe's. The ceramics was the perfect color and design for what I wanted & needed in the bedroom. The shade came from elsewhere but not relevant for review... For this review, the most relevant piece is that the brass was tarnished and dirty, not a pretty patina. There appeared to be some sort of paint or chemical that was on (possibly spilled on) parts of the brass. I couldn't clean off with brass cleaner or scrub it off with water and a no scratch sponge. I used a super-fine sand paper and small block and started sanding it off the brass. It worked but delicate and time consuming. In the end, I lightly sanded all the brass (give it a brushed appearance was the thought) in the same direction with a focus on achieving a uniform surface and color.Unfortunately, the hardened goo that I sanded left discoloration, and in some spots different texture. So it appeared to be a metal with a brass color or cheap brass since it had a sort of silver tone under/ mixed in the light brass color when I was done. In the areas with textured leaves there was black in the recesses. I left as much of that as possible. I initially put a clear, satin spray on the metal and left it. I had sought a brass paint then but didn't find anything I could use. It wasn't perfect but it was adequate for several years (2006 to 2015).I did some redecorating (new spread & pillows, a decorative mirror above the long dresser, other accents...) and the gold and brass tones made the lamp look really bad. So... I sought out a solution and found Lemiere after reading reviews of that and other paints.I cleaned and dried the surface of the metal. I used a sable hair brush and tested a spot with a half wet/ half dry stroke. It blended well onto the surface so I continued the process. I achieved an opaque, smooth and consistent brass-color coverage with wet or full brush strokes in the flat surfaces. On the damaged/ textured spots I started with a dry brush technique and layered on the paint brushing outward with each coat. It was effective for covering those imperfections really well. I used a dry brush technique and spot wet brush technique on the decorative leaves to allow the black recesses to remain as much as possible. THIS IS WHERE patience pays.. slow and layered dry brushing takes that to keep the visual depth and texture with a paint that is so opaque. However, I don't believe a less opaque paint would have worked to achieve the consistent appearance and especially in the places where the metal was pitted from the damage.It dries quickly. In a few days I may put a clear coat sealer on it... I may not because I think it will change the metal appearance to look like a painted surface if I do that. I am thrilled with the outcome.If the paint chips or changes when dusting/ cleaning, I'll post the outcome.------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jewelry Chest handles Project ------------------------------------------------------------------------This isn't a great piece of furniture but it is incredibly functional for me. I have never seen another chest with as useful a storage layout and styling for my bedroom so I maintain it like it was a better piece of furniture. It was from Service-Merchandise back in the early 90's. Over the years the inexpensive, casted-metal handles, that are finished in a brass tone, showed their age. I tried to replace the handles but they are such an odd spacing for the screw holds in the drawers and doors that was impossible. Also, they are a bit ornate so left a unique shadow and physical impression on the wood surface for each handle so if I had found the right size, I would have to refinish the chest completely. So, like the lamp, I painted the handles.It really gave a wow factor: I guess seeing and using it everyday I was blind to just how shabby they had become. Anyway, I found the opague coverage especially useful for covering the ridges and the worn areas of the knob part of the handles. The finish is consistent and does not show brush strokes. I used a wet brush technique with a small sable brush so there are not visible brush strokes so don't look painted. The handles just appear brass.I don't have any idea how well they will wear but I'll post after some time and let you know. I think they will wear pretty well given how the paint dries but we'll see. I am very optimistic.

What a beautiful color and really easy to work with paint! It's smooth and dries relatively fast, moves with the fabric and works with so many different materials. Can't wait to try out the other colors 😍
