A product test of the best gold spray paint ranked from best to worst and compared to real gold and brass hardware to help with your next paint project.Ever since my favorite gold spray paint went scarce, I have been on the hunt for the most convincing one to use on all things metal – door knobs, bathroom faucets, furniture pulls, light fixtures, and figurines. For the last year, whenever I was gathering supplies for a project, I’d grab whatever gold spray paint had a pretty cap in the hardware aisle to use. And so many times, I’d paint with it only to discover the gold looked totally fake and plastic-y and plain ol’ BAD! So I took one for the team to test out 8 different brass and gold spray paints and compared it to a couple of real brass hardware pieces to determine the ultimate “winner”. I was so proud of this little experiment idea until I discovered afterwards The Coastal Oak, Centsational Style, and Chris Loves Julia tried it out in the past too, but I digress. It was still extremely helpful to see them in person to determine for myself. 1st Place | 2nd Place | 3rd Place How the Gold Spray Paints Were Ranked
The Best Spray Paint Type for Performance
1st Best Gold Paint | 2nd Best Gold Paint The Best Gold Paint When Compared to Real HardwareI compared the spray painted knobs to two different types of hardware: brushed gold and unlacquered brass. Rustoleum Metallic Finish Gold was the most convincing when compared to stock-bought brushed gold hardware with Krylon Short Cuts Gold Leaf just barely behind. None of the 8 spray paints were even close when compared to unlacquered brass, so the search still continues for that, if a spray paint match even exists. But there’s really no comparison to real unlacquered brass. You either go all in or you don’t at all. The Best Gold Spray Paint Ranked OverallThe clear winner to me was Rustoleum Metallic Finish Gold. This gold spray paint is absolutely gorgeous with no odd undertones, a convincing sheen when compared to the real deal, the coverage was the best, and the application of the final finish was completely even with no splattering. 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th So now we know. And I’ll probably need an entire case now because I use this stuff on everything. What else should I test? This was fun! Related Posts
