Re: gold paint question

I don't think so, based on the one's I've seen and the paint chart I have. But hey I could be wrong as it does not specify one way or the other..

Re: gold paint question

I don't think Gold would be Gold without metallic in it. Kinda like silver without metallic would just be Grey!
