Look. If you paint with acrylics and you have not tried GOLDEN Heavy Body yet, this is your sign and we are not sorry for the intervention. Iridescent Pearl Coarse (S4) is part of the range that put GOLDEN on the map in 1980, and it genuinely keeps getting better. A 59ml tube of thick, richly pigmented acrylic with a buttery, knife-holds-its-peak consistency. The kind of paint that makes your mark-making feel like it actually counts for something.

Iridescent Pearl Coarse is from GOLDEN's metallic and pearlescent range — the tubes that make people stop mid-conversation and ask 'wait, what did you use there?' Mica-based pigments shift and shimmer as the viewing angle changes, in ways that standard paint simply cannot replicate.

What Makes This Colour Special

Mica-based iridescent pigment in GOLDEN's 100% acrylic emulsion. No fillers or extenders. The pearlescent shimmer comes from light interference within the mica particles, producing that characteristic depth and shift as the viewing angle changes. Permanent and waterproof once dry.

Why GOLDEN Heavy Body is in Serious Studios

No fillers. No extenders. No dyes. Pure pigment in 100% acrylic emulsion. Buttery consistency that holds its peak. Batch-to-batch colour consistency. Permanent and waterproof once dry. Fully intermixable with all GOLDEN mediums, gels, and pastes. Series 4 pricing — based on pigment cost and rarity, not quality.

About Series Pricing

GOLDEN uses a Series 1 through 9 pricing system based purely on pigment cost and rarity. Every single series is made to exactly the same uncompromising standard. Iridescent Pearl Coarse is a Series 4 colour, priced at $29.95 per 59ml tube.

Getting the Most Out of This Tube

Straight from the tube for maximum texture and shimmer. Thin with water up to 25% for a more translucent effect over other colours. Need more working time? GOLDEN OPEN Medium or a touch of Retarder slows drying significantly.
