Finding the best gold spray paint can get really frustrating. I know… I have been there.

You look at the caps on the cans and make a decision in the store but when you get home and try it, it is totally different!

You wish you could have tried it out before buying it!

Even though I have rarely had any luck judging the cap to pick a can of gold spray paint off the shelf, over the years, I have narrowed it down to a couple of favorites.

I already had 4 cans in my spray paint arsenal from all the trials I have done in the past. I researched a bit more and got 4 more cans to put together this extensive study of the best gold spray paint out of 8 candidates.

Let's find the best can of gold spray paint –

I bought a bunch of mini terracotta pots to use as the test vehicle and used a Homeright spray shelter to spray each of the pots.

I put the pots on a little piece of scrap wood to be able to easily pick it up the wood and move it out to dry while I painted the next pot.

By the way: this is my favorite spray paint trigger

Here are the basic rules I followed, so all the results have the same baseline –

1. They were all spray painted outside on the same day within 1 hour – hence no temperature/humidity variations.
2. All pots got 2 light coats of spray paint without any drying time in between.
3. They were all photographed at the same time.
4. Camera settings for all the photographs are the same.
5. None of the pictures have been digitally retouched except for cropping.

Comparison of gold spray paints

Here is a line up of all the little pots with their corresponding paint can.You can see right off the bat that there are quite a few variations in "color" and brightness.

For more details, I decided to make smaller groups based on their "color".

Best metallic gold spray paint

1- Design Masters  | 4 – Rustoleum Metallic |  2 – Krylon Premium metallic

This is the first time I used Design Master's and I have to say I was very impressed especially with the uniform coat and drying time.

It is pretty identical toRustoleum Metallic in terms of "color". I think they are the closest match to being "gold".

The Krylon Premium metallic which is on top has a very yellow almost artificial shine.

The Best Matte Gold Spray Paint

5 – Rustoleum Universal Metallic  | 6 – Krylon Dual

These are definitely matte gold and pretty true to their cap and would be great for applications where you are looking for a matte gold.

Rustoleum Universal is more yellow compared to the Krylon Dual.

One thing I like about Krylon Dual (which unfortunately can't really be seen in these pictures) is there are tiny specs of gold embedded in there that give it a bit of dimension.

The Best Rose Gold spray paint

6- Krylon ColorMaster  | 3- Valspar metallic  | 7- Krylon Metallic

These three have a distinct rose tint. They really should be called rose gold spray paints.

The caps are definitely misleading.

Both the Krylon paints look identical. There is absolutely no difference in their color and shine.

Valspar metallic looks a lot more matte and I kinda love it! If I needed to use a rose gold spray paint, I would definitely go with the Valspar metallic. The only issue is – as you can see in the picture, the can didn't spray very clean. I am hoping I just got a bad can.

So, which gold spray paint is the best?

As I said, they are all great in their own way. Ultimately, you should use the above observations to make a decision on what is best for your project!

They each had excellent coverage in just 2 light coats.

For, applications where I need authentic gold, I would definitely go for the Design Masters or Rustoleum Metallic.

In fact, Rustoleum Metallic is the gold spray paint I have been using in most of my projects but now I have 2 options.
