hm1 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 <br>One of my models is leaving the country shortly and she likes to be painted in gold for a photo shoot that's coming up in a few days. The idea just came up and I only have a few days to get the paint (I have plenty of brushes, sponges and other supplies but I can get any new items needed to do the job).</br> <br>I'm an experienced painter and I've worked with a lot of different types of paint but mostly on canvas, etc. I've never painted the entire body.</br> <br>I need the following info:</br> <BR> A. Name of brands / manufacturers that offer gold paint, (preferably metallic) - </br> <br>I'd like to get the type of paint that can be applied WITHOUT using an airbrush (i.e. by brushes, sponges, or I could use safe, specialty-made spray cans, if available.)</br> <br>B. Local place in California (especially Bay Area/ North Calif.) that sells them</br> <br>C. Tips on Techniques</br> <Br>D. Water based paint vs. grease-based paint</br> <BR>E. How much paint would be needed to cover the entire body (she is slim but tall)</br> <br>Feel free to add anything else that you think might be helpful. </br> <br>Thanks.</br><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morado Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 As for brands, I would suggest either Kryolan or Mehron. Kryolan make a makeup that you add water and you can apply it with a sponge or a brush. Mehron make a metallic powder that is added Mixing Liquid and you can apply it with a brush or by hand. I prefer water based paints as they are easier to take off (just a bath). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
