Questions about our paints
Start with the surface and the finish you want. Jubilee for solid colour, Bleo for colour that soaks into fabric and raw wood, GILD Originals and Super GILD for a metallic finish, and Chrome for a mirror.
The table above shows which works on what, and each surface has its own guide.
Jubilee, Super GILD and Bleo, once cured. GILD Originals is for interiors only, and Chrome is designed mainly for interior pieces.
GILD Originals is our classic metallic enamel, ideal for interior decorative work on sealed, primed or non-porous surfaces. Apply in thin, buildable coats for a smooth, luminous finish. Super GILD offers greater versatility across surfaces, including bare wood, fabric and paper, with excellent one-coat coverage and enhanced UV protection. For exterior projects, choose Super GILD.
All of them except Chrome, which is our only oil-based enamel. Clean Chrome brushes with white spirit, never water.
Yes. Our water-based paints can be mixed with GILD Originals and Jubilee to make your own shades. Chrome cannot be mixed. Always test a blend before your full project.
Not usually. Jubilee doesn’t require a primer on most properly prepared wooden surfaces, while Bleo is designed to soak into bare, porous wood. GILD Originals and Chrome require bare wood to be sealed or primed first. On glossy surfaces such as metal, glass and plastic, sand lightly to a matt finish, and use an adhesion primer only if they stay glossy. Previously painted or treated surfaces may need additional preparation depending on the finish.
Yes. Jubilee, GILD Originals, Super GILD and our top coats can all be used on leather. Clean it thoroughly first and remove any grease, wax or polish with white spirit and fine steel wool.
Bleo suits raw, porous leather only. Do not use it on leather with a shiny or sealed finish.
No. Our paints and finishes should not be used on surfaces that come into direct contact with food or drink. On glasses, plates or other tableware, keep the paint to decorative areas, away from food, drink and drinking edges.
We don’t recommend it. Guild Lane paints are not heat rated, so they are not designed for radiators or other surfaces that get hot.
