Liquid Gold Leaf

Some hobby shops and craft stores sell small bottles of  Liquid Gold Leaf next to the other gold leaf supplies.  Basically, this is a fancy gold paint that you brush on.  It's the same consistency of many enamel paints, maybe slightly thinner.

To be honest, the finish is no better than your average, run-of-the-mill brushable enamel gold paint.  I recommend plain Testor's gold enamel paint, as the results are the same, but Testor's is about half the price, and a lot more readily available.

Pros                                Cons
· Pretty cheap                · No better than Testors
· Easy                           · More expensive than Testors
· Looks okay                 · Harder to find than Testors

Synopsis:
Use Testors.
