Are you looking to get that opulent look you find with gold leaf, but without all the mess, faff and fuss of traditional gold leaf sheets?

Then look no further than these gorgeous self-levelling gilding enamels from Guild Lane.

What are Guild Lane gilding enamels?

They are an innovative and highly reflective self-levelling enamel paint. They have a semi-viscous flow with exceptional coverage that produces a rich, lustrous, tarnish-free finish.

Guild Lane gilding enamels are beautiful highly pigmented and vibrant paints giving you a fantastic faff-free alternative to traditional gilding techniques. Guild Lane GILD comes in 6 gorgeous water-based shades plus 1 oil-based shade, Chrome.

No need to use size, leaf and varnish to add opulence, these gilding enamels give you a flawless finish and exceptional results using just one fabulous product, saving you both time and money, and have a greater vibrancy than you can find in typical metallic paints.

The Guild Lane colour palette - 30 ml & 60ml

TOP TIP! The water-based colours can be mixed together to create a shade that is perfect for your project.

• GILD Gold is a rich, illuminating yellow with warm amber and soft brown undertones that emulates pure gold leaf
• GILD Silver is bright and elegant with shimmering white highlights and pale grey shadows resembling freshly polished metal
• GILD Bronze is a warm, dark blonde hue with golden highlights resembling a natural surface of bronze metal before the patina
• GILD Rose Gold is a sophisticated combination of gold, copper, and silver with brilliant blush highlights and velvety-salmon undertones
• GILD Champagne is a silky, neutral beige with warm sandy undertones that sits between gold and silver and glistens like soft champagne bubbles
• GILD Copper is a warm amber with pinkish-orange undertones that harness the vibrancy of pure, freshly exposed copper

Application

Suitable for numerous surfaces including paper, wood, glass, metal, ceramic, plastic, and textiles. Perfect for gilding frames, furniture detailing such as carvings and mouldings, painting figurines and scale models, signs, holiday crafts, costume detailing, and much more!

TOP TIP! I love to apply them onto furniture through a stencil: it’s much easier than using gold leaf and offers a versatile alternative to single-use gold leaf transfers.
