At first I did not think there would be enough for my home decor projects. I had enough paint for 10 mini chalk boards( 3 coats each), and Three 6" X 24" Signs with words (3 Coats each) and still have some left over.Application is simple , I applied small (dime to nickel size) dots to my project and applied a layer at time- don't be concerned about the thin texture- once you layer it will be a rich coppery color not a true "rose" aka pink gold either on light wood or dark wood. On the darker Wood it just adds an enhanced glow to my words.Washes off hands , paint brush, and other surfaces easily.Some of the Martha Stewart Crafts paint colors are better than the others. I have the Metallic Rose Gold and the Metallic Copper, and they're both a little underwhelming. Of the two, the Copper is much better than the Rose Gold---it has more of a metallic gleam. The Rose Gold has barely any metallic particles in comparison, so unless you look at it from exactly the right angle, in bright lighting, it just looks like a caramel brown. For that matter, so does the Copper, unless you use a heavy hand and paint in thick layers.When the light hits the paint squarely, the Copper is an okay mid-toned copper color that veers more bronze-y than pinkish. The Rose Gold is not what I was hoping for. It's a slightly rosy champagne beige metallic--but I was hoping for a more realistic rose gold color that leans blush-gold or pale pinkish copper-y gold. This isn't it.I also have regular Martha Stewart Craft paint in non-metallic satin and gloss blacks, and they're both very good---so your mileage may vary. I wish I had gone with the DecoArts Dazzling Metallics line, which I hear does a better job of producing metallic gleam.Unfortunately, the photos I took make the paints seem a lot prettier than they are. I think it's just the way the camera catches the reflections, but to the naked eye, both paints kind of look like caramel brownish splotches....Martha Stewart gold paint cost more than other comparable craft gold paints. But the quality was well worth the extra cost. I was restoring an antique Singer sewing machine. The metal base has the Singer logo in what was originally gold. I used the Martha Stewart Gold paint to redo the fine letters and logo. It flowed on very smoothly with a fine brush and usually covered in one coat. It came out beautiful. I would buy Martha Stewart brand craft paints again.I use this paint for crafting and in my artwork. It has a nice consistency, not dry, but thick enough that there's no running or pooling. It can be painted on with a brush, sponged, rolled on,, etc. It is multipurpose - I've successfully applied it to paper, burlap, canvas, plaster, and glass. For me, the drying time is about 10 - 15 mintes. It dries without stickiness or tackiness, and remains fast even when I apply polyurethane. I like that it's metallic without glitter.I've made multiple purchases of this paint, and some of the other colors. I find them all excellent, with the exception of the silver. The silver is acceptable but runny. Since my experience has been the same with all but the silver, I'll be using this review for all but the silver.Not sure if it's a shipping error or what, but when my box arrived, it actually contained TWO bottles of this paint. Had to come back and check to see if I'd just missed the part where this was a pack of two, but it doesn't say that anywhere.I've had the same bottle of Apple Barrel Pure Silver paint for more than ten years, used for miscellaneous craft projects. I recently decided I wanted to paint my Google Cardboard silver, and I got through two coats before running out and still not having full coverage.I picked this paint to replace it because it was the cheapest available on Amazon for the small 2-ounce bottle I'm used to, and so far I really like it. It covers well and looks shinier than the paint I was using before. It's giving my project a "brushed aluminum" look that is going to be really great when I'm done with it.The brand puts out quality paint. I've never had issues with fading, chipping, or peeling. The color wasn't what I had hoped. It was more of a flat/brushed metal as opposed to a polished silver that reflected and shined. It worked as a paint below my shiny silver, giving my image more dimension. Worked out just fine.This paint is delectable!I tried using a different gold plating paint, but it was messy and runny. Martha's paint, however, is pretty clean (there's a small hole in the top for better control of the paint flow, especially when you only need a small quantity. Or you can take the lid off and more quickly lob a big blob of paint onto your palate).The gold color is beautiful too. I've noticed some other "gold" paints I've experimented with coming out looking more brown (lacking the shimmery luster) or more copper and antiqued. This shade is exactly what I want when I'm working with gold hues.Just as a heads up: these ARE small containers and are best used for smaller projects. Otherwise, you'll need to buy several bottles.I've used a lot of metallic paint over the years, and this one is pretty good. The color is bright and true to the appearance of a newly-polished penny. (Other brands do better with deeper copper hues). Coverage is less impressive, however. I used the paint on a thrift-store Windsor chair, and, even over primer, it was streaky enough to require three coats, so the project took longer than I had anticipated. More paint, too--in fact, I almost ran out. I'd post a photo except that I already applied polyurethane over the paint, which changes its appearance. In sum, I liked the paint enough to order some more--until I saw that the price had more than tripled since I bought it just thirteen months ago (I paid two fifteen per bottle). Not sure what's going on, but, even in a brick-and-mortar store, it's generally three, maybe four, bucks.I love this paint, highly recommend.I was not too happy about this as it did not cover my necklace at all well. I thought it very expensive for what it wasgoodVery happy. Great value for money. Arrived very quickly. Excellent seller. Would highly recommendLovely quality metallic paint, goes on smoothly and gives a really luxurious look.
