Our original gold paint, Sailing Gold was born in response to the request of Buddhist Altercraftspeople who traditionally used a lot of gold leaves and powder. Having sold this for over 20years, it has starred in many other different industries. 

Today we would like to introduce the ever-improving and enriching lineup of our gold paint.

■Hint to Selecting The One

it is dried.
