Safety Sheets
Super GILD Gold is a sumptuous, radiant gold infused with soft amber and warm brown undertones. The result is a deep, opulent metallic that feels both classical and modern, echoing the warmth of antique gilded mirrors and heirloom picture frames. On flat surfaces it reads as rich, luminous gold. On mouldings and carved details it pools and reflects the light, highlighting every contour.

1. Prepare the surface
Clean thoroughly to remove dust, grease and residue. For very smooth, glossy or previously sealed surfaces, lightly sand and, if needed, apply a suitable primer to promote adhesion.
2. Apply Super GILD Gold
Stir gently. Apply using a good quality brush, roller or sponge. Lay off in smooth, even strokes to achieve a refined metallic finish, or use a stippling motion to create texture and depth.
3. Build the finish
Apply one coat for full, rich coverage. Allow to dry for at least one hour, then apply a second coat where a perfectly smooth, mirror like metallic finish is desired.
4. Optional protection
Super GILD Gold is an all in one formula that does not require sealing. For high traffic areas such as table tops, handles or frequently touched details, our Guild Lane Gloss Top Coat can be applied once the paint is fully dry.
