Hello, which color primer would you recommend for the best golden finish? A yellow, white or black? Also, should the primer be flat or gloss?

If using an oil based paint such as Rustoleum topside paint, oil based Marine Primer for metal would be best. If for some reason you are using Latex paint then Latex primer would be good. You will not get the gloss of topside paint with a Latex though.

If you use a silver Sharpie as a primer, you can use any color over it on any background. I do it all the time. Hope this helps you to do what you want/need!

I suggest sanding out the rust first before applying this. I also suggest the filler then this touch up as the filler will smooth out the surface and can be sanded flush with the rest of the area. The is a paint type product to match the color. The one I used is white and it is very white.

It really depends on what you intend to use it for. If it's for repainting a regular room ceiling in your house, which is already white, then you probably don't need to use a primer underneath it. However, if it's for a bathroom, and that bathroom is used by, say, two teenagers, each of whom take long hot showers (as in our case); and in which, despite religiously running a venting fan, the paint had been peeling off the ceiling, then yes - it's strongly recommended as a topcoat over a good primer such as Zinzer's own Bull's-Eye 123.

Not really. If you have a primer coat of any kind, this stuff is amazing, it goes on thick and flattens to a bright chrome and doesn't need black underneath.

If I was going with just one and was unsure which I would like more I would pick gloss. You can apply gloss and leave it be for a high gloss or you can always do a light sanding with a light grit sand paper or an all purpose scotch-brite hand pad/scrub pad and then use a polish to bring back some shine. So you can control the degree of shine some what with the gloss. Satin is kind of a one trick pony. As far as which looks better, that depends on the individual and the look they are going for. I personally like a gloss finish better than satin in most applications.

I would suggest lightly sanding the black with 150- 220 grit paper so new paint will grip well. If you can prime with something other than Latex, be better off on metal, perhaps rustoleum. I f you can get the paint in oil , would be best, but unlikely. Use gloss at any rate as harder finish I believe. The last option...Move ! Kidding Mark

Frankly, I would put this job in the hands of a professional painter. It would require many coats, not only of a semi gloss or a high gloss (your preference) but also a primer. It's a wonderful island but I wouldn't want to tackle the job of painting over the black.

The shimmer ones are pretty shimmery, the high gloss are only glossy for a little while. Think "99 cent" store. It's not terrible, but you'll have a crap load of colors you don't need. Just buy your favorite colors in quality form. That's my humble advice.

Depending on your natural hair color, if you're trying to avoid brassiness ("red tone"), stick with ash or violet colors. The "N" in "7N" stands for neutral. That may work, but you may be better off with a "7A" or "7V." (The V isn't as common, but I know Ion has a color like that.) If you use the 7N and have red tones, this Brass Banisher product works fairly well. You can also try Wella Color Charm toner in T18. That may darken your color a little bit, but it will remove the red. You'll need to use a 20 developer with it. If your natural color is dark (brown or black), stick with the ashy colors. If you're already blonde and just want to go lighter, the neutral color may work ok. Wella Color Charm also has some extreme ash colors. I believe there is a 7AA color. I went from dark brown to light blonde. I like the intense ash colors, they really help to get rid of the "orange" that inevitably occurs when I dye my hair. But if your hair is dark, just using a 7 color probably isn't going to make it blonde. You'll probably have to bleach it first, then use the color, and probably add a toner. Unless you want to try the L'Oreal HiColor product. I, personally, haven't used that, but it's supposed to help you go from dark to light in one step with no brassiness.

This is the only color you need...no mixing with anything. But you do need to follow it up with elumen Lock to keep the color longer. I don't know how it compares with a glaze. I'm just a do it yourself-er who wants a small splash of color.

No this is perfect for you I also use Mac NC 40 the powder and I use it last to create a smooth finish. This topaz gives off a goldish hue and my skin complexion is Nutella. Even if you are a caramel complexion this will work for you . However if you are lighter than a caramel complexion try using the banana topaz. I think that will give off a yellowish hue tho so I'm unsure how that will look in picture taking

Since neither one is a magic bullet - i'd go with about the same. I cleaned and sanded the area and applied twice. It says it doesn't effect the surrounding area which isn't entirely true. It slightly discolors it. I feathered it out and it isn't as noticeable. It did cover the rust and dry with a black primer coat which quickly rusts again if you just leave it exposed.

I cannot give you an answer because I used it with a primer and only used this paint on some hardware for drawers from ikea. If you can prime the aluminum, I would assume it will be fine. Btw...the hardware I painted had a bit of a matte finish to it already too. The gold color itself is really nice. Sorry...

Hello, Alicia. Either one will be fine. It just depends on how light you want your highlight to be. The product is amazing and smooth and you only need to use a small amount. It will last you for a long time.

I would lightly sand it or use liquid deglosser before staining it with the Java stain. The java gel stain is very opaque and with 3 coats on my project, it was very dark and did not show any of the original stain color (golden oak) underneath it. I used 3 coats of java and 3 coats of semi-gloss top coat.
