Silver & Gold dyes?

[Laurenr]

I am looking for a dye or pigment, that works with Alumilite, that is a good shiny silver and/or gold.

Any ideas?

You can use enamel paint....not acrylic bc of water. Check any model car isle

Alumilite sells concentrated silver, gold, bronze, copper powder, and the stuff is dang potent too..way more concentrated than mica or pearlex.

I have all of those. I am looking for something that looks like solid gold or silver. I use the above for accents.

That's a real tough one then, because I have silver oil based paint and if you just mix that with alumilite, the blank looks like silver, but when you spin and polish it up it looks like a dark gray. Gold paint works out reasonably good, but silver does not seem to like to.

Send an email to Douglas and Sturgess. They stock several metallic pigments and they are very helpful with answering questions about their products.

Yeah, thanks. Their website looks promising. I will call them monday.
