Liquid Leaf : Metallic Gilding Paint

Liquid Leaf is a remarkable gilding paint that contains its own red primer and film of lustrous gold, premixed into a single liquid. This is the most effective finish you can use on carved and ornamental furniture, frames, mouldings, decorative ceilings, lamps, figurines and objects.

It flows easily onto the surface (with no brush marks), forming a beautiful, lustrous finish. It is so controllable that it can be used with striping brush or ruling pen for fine lines and scrolls.

Liquid Leaf can be used on wood, metal, glass, ceramics, papier-mache and cardboard. It can also be used as an ink. One colour of Liquid Leaf can be used over another once dry. For air brushing all colours can be thinned with the Brush Bath.

This easy-to-control one-step paint gives a brilliant sheen without brassiness, a permanent finish more closely resembling traditional leafing. A 35ml bottle will cover approximately 2sq/m.

It’s fine to apply oil paint over sealed liquid leaf, turpentine will not reactivate the liquid leaf when sealed. Unsealed liquid leaf will reactivate if turps is worked into it. Liquid leaf resists tarnishing, the sealer is an extra protective layer.

Liquid Leaf comes in 8 different metallic shades.
