Golden Heavy Body Iridescent & Interference Acrylics, 2 oz Tubes & 4 oz Jars

Metallic Shine and Pearlescent Shift in Thick, Textural Paint

The range has 14 iridescents in fine and coarse grades (Bronze, Copper, Copper Light, Gold, Bright Gold, Gold Deep, Pearl, Silver and Stainless Steel) and 6 interference colours in 2 oz (59 ml) tubes. It also includes Black, Gold and Pearl Mica Flake (Small) and Coarse Alumina in 4 oz (118 ml) jars.

Why You'll Love It

• ✨ Real metallic effects — mica coated with titanium dioxide or iron oxide; Stainless Steel uses actual metal particles
• 🔍 Fine and coarse grades — fine for an even sheen, coarse for more sparkle and texture
• 🌈 Interference colours — transparent flakes that reflect one colour and show its complement, changing with what's beneath
• 🪨 Texture additives — Mica Flakes and Coarse Alumina give glittering or gritty, tooth-like surfaces
• 🖌️ Heavy Body consistency — holds brush and knife marks for dimensional work

Tips

• Thin layers and glazes give the strongest shimmer; thick layers look cloudier
• Gloss gels and mediums increase reflectivity
• Mix in a tiny touch of black (about 1:100) to make interference colours pop
