Frequently asked
What is the closest equivalent to Revell Gold?
The closest same-finish match is Tamiya Titanium Gold at 74% color similarity.
What finish is Gold?
Gold is a metallic paint with a gold tone and a reflective finish. Because the shine comes from metal flake, a flat paint can match the color and still be wrong for the job, which is why cross-finish matches here are references rather than swaps.
What do I highlight and shade Gold with?
Shade Gold with Copper/Kupfer in the same Revell range. For highlights, mix in a lighter tone or move to a brighter paint in the lane.
