Description

“Pure Gold in a tin” - EPIFANES GOLD SPECIAL contains a very high proportion of metallic, pure gold dust pigments. This gold paint was developed on an acrylic copolymer basis for decorative stripes, ship names, and lettering on classic yachts, where traditionally gold leaf was laboriously applied. In contrast, EPIFANES GOLD SPECIAL is easier to apply than gold leaf and allows the included gold dust to shine in its typical gloss and color tone. 

Application: The surface must be dry, well degreased, and sanded. On GRP, steel, wood, and zinc, an adhesion-promoting primer with EPIFANES MULTI MARINE PRIMER (Art.No 2066-175) is recommended, which should be sanded with P180–P220 after drying. Stir well before use and stir occasionally during application to prevent the gold pigments from settling. Do not apply wet-on-wet and do not apply excessively thick wet coats. Preferably apply with a soft, long-bristled brush in a single, even stroke. For an even gold effect, apply at least two coats.

Outdoors, to stabilize against UV rays, after complete curing (48 hrs) it can be overcoated with EPIFANES POLY-URETHANE CLEAR VARNISH (Art.No 2063-900) or EPIFANES CLEAR BOAT VARNISH (Art.No 2050-001); when using Clear Boat Varnish, the color tone appears slightly darker.

Safety note: Contains solvents; wearing personal protective equipment (safety goggles, mask, gloves) is recommended.
