gold paint

Shiny yellow finish

Gold paint is paint formulated to produce a metallic golden appearance when applied.

It typically contains metallic pigments—historically bronze powder, now often aluminum coated with yellow dye—suspended in a binder.

Used decoratively on frames, furniture, and trim: She touched up the mirror frame with gold paint.

The finish rarely matches actual gold leaf in luster or durability.
