The latest development in London for gilding involves technological alchemy! Its now possible to change gold frames to silver, pewter, pink metallic and many other colour combinations using the new acrylic paints that are available. Its a much cheaper way to change your interiors than with water or oil gilding and offers some unusual colour combinations.
Pluses are that the paint is very hardwearing and doesn't tarnish.
Its possible to create some antique distressing with pigments and washes. All these reproduction frames started off as gold and ended up a different colour! Anything is possible to paint and change into a new metallic colour!
