thickness

[Ssword1995]

Anyone have a way to make the gold paint thicker? Any help would be very much appreciated!!

If your referring to the fact that it doesn't cover very well on the first coat no it doesn't
Rather than thicken your better off applying a couple thinner coats. If its thicker or you try and glob it on to get coverage you'll lose the details and the end result won't look great.

Yes, many thin coats is the way to go. You should also paint the gold parts brown first. The brown base-layer does wonders for making the gold stuff look thicker.

Thank you guys so much. And do u think mournfang brown coat then burnished gold would work?

This used to drive me insane till I picked up Gehenna's Gold (Citadel Layer) which covers most everything in 2 coats (sometimes 1). It's far better than the older golds which took 10-15 coats lol

Man i tried using the brown coat then the gold and it makes my cold one champ look amazing

Seems like it worked for you! But yeah, any brown will be ok. I guess that middle brown would give the best results. A tan or a near black-brown color would probably still give the same splotchy coverage issues.

I'll have to look into this stuff.

It works really well since it sticks to the paint and not the plastic since its like a wash

I've had some luck if I let the paint dry on the brush a bit before starting painting. That reduces gold down to two or three coats instead of four or five.

I'll echo the Gehenna's Gold over a brown base coat. I'm working on uploading my pictures, but I've had a great experience with this technique.

If you could post like one pic on here so i can see it or tellme when u do id be most appreciative

I just added my paint log. Everything that you see there that's gold got the following treatment:
Black primer.
Deathclaw Brown basecoat
Gehenna's Gold layer
Seraphim Sepia wash/shade

I'll probably grab the Citadel Dry: Golden Griffon in order highlight some areas the next time I'm in the shop, but I'm pretty please with the current result.
