Just wondering what name brand and color of paint to use under the size when gilding on HDU. I have been trying different name brands & colors and have not been able to get a color that I am happy with yet.

[Thanks]

1-Shot Metallic Brass works nicely as well.

By itself I feal it resemles actuall gold-leaf better than the imitation gold.

Just my humble opinion though.

The yellow underneeth seems to make the guilding "punch" just a little more.

Thanks for the help on the colors we got started working with gold leaf about 8 months ago and are trying learn all the tricks that we can. Hope to be able to go to one of the Letterhead meets next year I am sure we will learn a lot & make some new friends.
