Golden Paintworks® Textures


Benjamin Moore Blue Kitchen Cabinet
Metallic Texture Tintable Bases + Pre-Tinted Colors
Golden Paintworks’ two Metallic Texture Tint Bases are the foundation for creating our Pre-Tinted Metallic Texture colors, as well as custom tinting in the studio or jobsite. We recommend using small amounts of colorant, Slow Dry Fluid Acrylic colors or mixing in Metallic Paint colors to create your own palette. Both the Pearl Tint Base and the Gold Tint Base can be used on their own as a bright and lively pearl or a brilliant gold. Each color will produce a soft, metallic sparkle with varied sheens and movement across the finish. Traditionally applied by trowel, the final finish requires no burnishing or top coating, which adds to its popularity. Available in Quart & Gallon sizes.

Venetian Plaster Tint Base + Pre-Tinted Colors
Golden Paintworks® Venetian Plaster Tintable Base is the foundation for creating our Pre-Tinted Venetian Plaster colors as well as custom tinting in the studio or jobsite. It contains enough Titanium Dioxide that it can be used as a “White” or creating very light tints. However, it can easily be tinted to mid-tone colors. We recommend using controlled colorants or dispersed pigments to tint the product. Applied by trowel in thin layers, then burnished by applying pressure to the trowel’s edge while drying will produce a highly polished, marble-like finish. Available in Quart & Gallon sizes.

Picture
Soapstone Tint Base + Pre-Tinted Colors
Golden Paintworks® Soapstone Tint Base is the foundation for creating our Soapstone Pre-Tinted colors, as well as custom tinting in the studio or jobsite. Its versatile nature allows it to be intermixed with other decorative products for creating a truly unique finish. Soapstone can be mixed with pre-tinted flat architectural paint to create a color, or use controlled colorants or pigment dispersions. When trowel applied, it exhibits a subtle movement of color across the surface with little to no sheen. It contains no Titanium Dioxide so colors are rich and vibrant. A great product for producing dimensional ornament without cracking. When dry, it has ample holdout for over-glazing, painting or additional layers of Texture.  Available in Quart & Gallon sizes.

Picture
Sandstone Tint Base + Pre-Tinted Colors
Golden Paintworks® Sandstone Tint Base is the foundation for creating our Sandstone Pre-Tinted colors, as well as custom tinting in the studio or jobsite. It is a light gray, tintable, acrylic texture with a sandy, slightly course, uniform aggregate that can be left rough or troweled smooth, depending on the desired finish. When dry, it holds glazes well, yet offers time to work a colored glaze before it sets. Sandstone can be colored with paint up to 25% of its volume without affecting its working properties. A wide variety of finishes, including faux concrete, can be achieved. Available in Quart & Gallon sizes.

Glass Bead Gel
Golden Paintworks® Glass Bead Gel is a decorative, water based, acrylic gel medium that dries clear and contains a high concentration of small, clear glass beads. The clarity allows any color underneath to show through, while the glass beads reflect light in a sparkling cascade. Available in Quart & Gallon sizes.

Picture
Glass Bead Gel XL
Golden Paintworks® Glass Bead Gel XL is a decorative, water based, acrylic gel medium that dries clear and contains a high concentration of XL size clear glass beads. The clarity allows any color underneath to show through, while the glass beads reflect light in a sparkling cascade. Available in Quart & Gallon sizes.

Picture
Glass Bead Undercoat
Golden Paintworks® Glass Bead Undercoat is an opaque, white, tintable, acrylic texture with a sandy, coarse aggregate that will not crush and can be applied by trowel or roller. The sandy texture grabs the glass beads and allows for a thin, even coat of beads. For best results, apply a coat of Metallic Paint before applying the Glass Bead Gels. Available in Quart & Gallon sizes.

Picture
Weathered Granite
Golden Paintworks® Weathered Granite is a unique, acrylic, ready-to-use, granite-like material that contains a crushable, colored aggregate in a warm-white base. Apply with a Plastic Trowel to retain its original color and coarseness with a peppery, grained stone finish. If applied with a Stainless Steel Trowel, the crushable aggregate can be worked by adding pressure to deepen the base color and create a subtle, variegated finish. Available in Quart & Gallon sizes.

Picture
Fresco
Golden Paintworks® Fresco Tint Base is a uniform, bright white, absorbent material that readily accepts paints, stains and glazes while retaining the dry, matte appearance of stained or colored plaster. It can be left rough or troweled smooth, depending on the desired finish. Fresco can be tinted to light or deep colors from a single base. Available in Quart & Gallon sizes.

Application Tools
At Golden Paintworks, we believe the best decorative finishes start with the best products, applied with the best tools available. That’s why we offer PAVAN trowels from Italy.
  • PAVAN Trapezoid Stainless Steel Trowels contain a special stainless alloy that minimizes metal abrasion. The Inox Blade has rounded corners and tapered edges with a welded, hand-friendly synthetic grip.
  • Our PAVAN Specialty Trapezoid Plastic Trowel is made from plastic-welded and reinforced, white, Sicodur Plastic. It has straight edges, rounded corners, and the same hand-friendly synthetic grip as the Steel Trowels. Perfect for final coats that have a tendency to metal-mark.
  • For small, tight working areas, we offer Blue Blade Spatulas, which are great for applying Venetian Plasters, especially around door jams and windows. Blued Steel prevents rusting of the blade.
