ARTEZA Metallic Acrylic Paint, Set of 8 Metallic Colors in 4.06oz/120ml Tubes, Rich Pigments, Non Fading, Non Toxic Paints for Artists & Hobby Painters, Art Supplies for Canvas Painting

These are not the same as regular heavy bodied paints, they have a different consistency. But the colors are nice and rich and very pretty.

Like this brand of paints, colors are vibrant and beautiful and results are beautiful as well. These had a nice metallic outcome

This to answer question re: ‘micron size of mica in paint’ so that photos can be added to answer. This paint has good sheen, can be thinned with a bit of water to add sheerness, or laid on in a thick layer for full coverage. Works also thinned with Floetrol for pouring. This paint shimmers but is not glittery. To increase glitter effect, add Mont Marte iridescent varnish (https://www.amazon.com/Mont-Marte-Premium-Iridescent-Painting/dp/B07TBJV8DB/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Mont+marte+iridescent+varnish&qid=1629722607&sr=8-2) or varnish on top (be aware that the MM varnish has somewhat larger, iridescent mica chips). Mixing with iridescent varnish or iridescent medium (https://www.amazon.com/Liquitex-107008-Professional-Iridescent-Effects/dp/B001US4S68/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Liquitex+iridescent+medium&qid=1629722713&sr=8-1) does lighten/sheer colors a bit. Silver A734 is a cool silver, much like Liquitex, as opposed to Talens Amsterdam silver which is a bit warmer. Pearl White A700 comparable to Liquitex iridescent white (again, Amsterdam a bit warmer). Gold A703 comparable to Artists Loft Old Gold. See photos for glimmer and comparison. Photos taken straight on and 15^ angle in natural light, samples painted on Canson XL watercolor paper (pure white, not bright white) and base is Monster mat neutral grey silicone. Update: one star deleted for new packaging. Old packaging had color name and number on top, very handy. New packaging has only color number, on the back. Really poor choice, Arteza, please go back to previous style labeling.

The paints are great beautiful shine and they have a light viscosity which I love, but I’m giving it a 3 stars because I didn’t receive Aztec Gold instead my box came with two Pearl Space Gray.

Great paint.

Amazing!! Honestly.

Thick and very metallic. I applied with a palette knife for a plastered look.

Always the perfect paint

These colors are so beautiful!!! Dried product is absolutely stunning!

This paint is wonderful. Super shiny, and a nice variety of metallic hues to choose from. The two gold tones are especially shimmery and beautiful. I was going to use gold leaf for one of my paintings, but decided to try this paint first, and it came out looking amazing. Didnt end up using any gold leaf whatsoever.
