Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic Premium
Gold 75ml
Metallic gold acrylic: the shimmer of gilded surfaces, luxury colour, and decorative impasto work.

Gold is the metallic acrylic in the Dimension Acrylic Premium range, delivering the shimmering, reflective quality of gilded metal in an ultra-thick heavy body formula. The metallic pigment base creates a genuine optical shimmer that changes with the angle of viewing, mimicking the quality of gold leaf or polished brass. It is fully opaque and covers in one application, making it efficient for decorative impasto work, accent passages in figurative painting, and bold metallic colour fields in contemporary and mixed media work. In the ultra-thick heavy body formula, it holds knife marks and sculptural texture without slumping. Dries to a metallic gloss finish. Available in 75ml tubes and 250ml pots.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip
Gold is most effective applied with a palette knife onto a flat or slightly textured dry surface: the metallic particles align to the surface and reflect light evenly for maximum shimmer. Brushing tends to randomise the particles and reduce the metallic effect. Apply it as the final layer over dry paint for best results.

Using and Mixing Gold

Gold is most effective at full strength for maximum metallic effect. Mixing with other colours reduces the shimmer. Use adjacent colour passages to create tonal variations rather than mixing Gold directly.

Combine this colour with...
Deep Yellow → warm golden tone that bridges metallic Gold into painted warm-yellow passages
Burnt Sienna → warm bronzed gold and aged gilt tones for antique and distressed metallic passages
Lamp Black → deep dark bronze and very aged gilt for weathered and patinated metallic effects
Titanium White → pale gold and pale champagne metallic for delicate and light metallic accent passages
Yellow Ochre → earthy antique gold for aged and warm decorative passages

About Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic Premium

Founded in Australia in 2002, Mont Marte creates high-quality fine art materials for students, hobbyists, and professional artists worldwide. Dimension Acrylic Premium is their flagship heavy body range: an ultra-thick, high-viscosity acrylic formulated for impasto work, palette knife painting, and any technique that demands a paint that holds its shape. With a Blue Wool Level 7+ lightfast rating (equivalent to ASTM I), the 48-colour range is built for serious, permanent work. Available in 75ml tubes and 250ml pots.

How do I get the best metallic effect from Dimension Acrylic Gold?

Apply Gold with a palette knife onto a smooth or slightly textured dry surface as the final paint layer. The knife application aligns the metallic particles to the surface for maximum reflectivity. Avoid overworking: a clean, confident single pass gives the best metallic shimmer.

Can I use Dimension Acrylic Gold with a palette knife?

Yes. Palette knife application is one of the primary uses for Dimension Acrylic Premium. The ultra-thick formula sits firm on the knife, deposits a clean hard-edged layer on the surface, and holds the shape of each mark as it dries without slumping. Apply straight from the tube for maximum texture and sharp ridges.

Is the metallic effect permanent?

Yes. Dimension Acrylic Premium Gold carries a Blue Wool Level 6+ lightfast rating for its metallic and colour components. The metallic shimmer and colour remain stable under normal indoor display conditions.

How long does Dimension Acrylic Gold take to dry?

Thin applications dry in 20-30 minutes. Heavy impasto builds applied with a palette knife can take 1-2 hours to dry fully. Drying time extends in cold or humid conditions. Do not apply a second thick layer over the first until the lower layer has dried completely to the touch.

What surfaces can I use Dimension Acrylic Gold on?

Canvas, board, wood, air-dry clay, plaster, cardboard, paper, leather, and most rigid plastics. For best adhesion on non-porous or slick surfaces, apply a coat of gesso or acrylic primer first. Dimension Acrylic Premium is compatible with all Mont Marte acrylic mediums, gels, and impasto pastes.
