APL23223
APL23223 Liquid gold leaf (gold-leaf effect paint), gold / rose gold
Liquid gold leaf: a solvent-borne metallic paint that stands in for gilding and imitates leaf gold at a fraction of the cost, since it contains no precious metal. Covers solidly in one coat, needs no gilding size or special varnish. For decorating wood, metal, PU foam, glass and the like. Interior only. Top-coat with acrylic lacquer where needed — note that a gloss lacquer changes the look.
- faux gilding on furniture, frames, carvings and mouldings
- decoration on wood, metal, PU foam and glass
- accent details in special-effect finishes
- touching up and restoring gilding (by brush)
Single-component product: no mixing needed — use as supplied (see application below).

- Recoat
- acrylic lacquer after ≥12 h (full dry)recommended
- Sanding between coats
- do not sandrecommended
Gun 15–20 cm off, 50 % overlap, steady pace and constant distance or the metallic stripes and clouds. Keep a wet edge. Swirl the cup between parts — it settles.

Very even flake lay-down, more overspray than HVLP.

Not listed by Technocolor; production use only. Agitate — pigment settles in the lines.
Brush
- Consumption

For carvings, details and restoration. Soft brush, less thinner than the dealer's 30 parts, or none (shop practice, not maker data), don't overwork — it's touch-dry in 5 minutes.
Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- Lay it over a ground of similar colour: PPS20 white primer, 2 coats → PPL RAL enamel in a matching shade → potal → ATL500 gloss lacquer.catalog
- Goes over
- PPS20 / PPL RAL
- Goes under
- ATL500
- Sanding
- do not sand the potal; sand the enamel under it P400–P600 before applicationrecommended
- Temperature and humidity
- 18–25 °C, RH 50–70 %recommended
- Topcoat effect
- a gloss lacquer changes the effectdealer
- Don'ts
- don't use outdoors
- don't apply without stirring thoroughly — the pigment settles
- don't sand or polish the potal coat
- don't lacquer before full dry (12 h)
- don't top-coat without a test panel — gloss lacquer changes the effect
