Give raised details, frame edges and decorative features a metallic sheen with Daler-Rowney Goldfinger. This rub-on paste adds colour and lustre without handling loose metal leaf. You receive one 22 ml tube in your selected colour.
Choose your colour

Match an existing finish or choose a contrasting accent. Compare the colour on a sample of the same surface; lighting and sheen affect its appearance.
What can you use it for?
Use Goldfinger for decorative accents on wood, plaster, clay, leather, textiles or plastics, such as picture frames, mouldings, models or greeting cards. The paste takes best on porous or lightly abraded surfaces. Try an inconspicuous area first, particularly over existing paint or on a valuable object. You can also use it for metallic accents in oil paintings.
Apply and finish
Start with a small amount on a soft cloth and rub a thin layer onto the chosen areas. After a short drying period, buff with a clean soft cloth to the desired sheen. For fine detail, thin a small amount with white spirit and apply with a brush. Make a sample first to assess film thickness, adhesion and lustre. Goldfinger Varnish can protect the sheen; varnish, thinner and tools are sold separately.
Safe use and storage
Warning: flammable liquid and vapour. Work with good ventilation, avoid breathing vapours and keep away from heat, sparks and open flames. Do not smoke. Use solvent-resistant nitrile gloves and safety glasses. Wash skin contact with soap and water, not solvent. Close the tube after use and store in a cool, well-ventilated place. Dispose of residues and packaging containing residues as hazardous waste; do not pour them down a drain.
