I wanted to paint my squatty potty (off-white plastic) with a metalic gold paint so that I can feel famous. Will this make the gold look better?

I couldn't tell you, I just used it on a rusty shed. I think if you use any white primer on the pot the gold will look better.

You should be able to but gold does not get green if it is real gold. If it is an alloy the cleaner should work. T

You could spot test. I would try a primer first, and if it sticks, go for it. Another idea is to try some of that spray paint specially made for plastic as an undercoat.

Yes, but you should try to keep it on the paint. It isn't made for plastic.

It should turn pink. You have to match the copper with the gold like thing.

The chemicals in this may be too harsh for gold. I would use a paste silver polish - much gentler.

Yes! All of these colours, as well as metallic silver and gold (which you can also snag on Amazon) show up really well -- surprisingly, the black marker shows up pretty good, too. The paint is a little shiny, so against a matte paper it's visible. Here's a quick test image for you: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/88630699/uni-poscatest.jpg

Yes, I suppose it could be. It is regular vinyl wallpaper and I think you could get away with using those little glue dots or gummy/clay adhesive or whatever other temporary adhesive you may have in mind. Also note that despite the "description" the wallpaper is actually SILVER and not GOLD. Looks very disco-ish.

I have champaign gold version myself and it is a pretty light color too. Mine does not have any marks or dirt on it. So I think you' ll be fine. In the worst scenario you can take it off and clean it.

Let me first say that I worked for 30 yrs at PPG paint in various departments matching colors. I have this RO tap within 10 in of a Moen oil rubbed bronze faucet. The Moen does have small aluminum flakes in the coating giving it the appearance of gold flakes. The two blend so well I thought the RO tap had gold flakes also. However it doesn't. It appears to have very small particle size mica in the coating. On cars, the mica would give the coating a subtle sparkle versus aluminum which can be small particle size giving the subtle reflectiveness or the in your face large particle aluminum that sparkles not just that little shimmer. Taking into account the sparkle/shimmer effect of mica and aluminum flake it would easily be an industry match since untrained eyes cannot pick up the minute color differences. So I would say it doesn't have a solid chocolate brown appearance and it is not an exact match to my Moen faucet. But unless you get up close with a light to reflect off of the coating, you'd consider it a good match. Aside from that, you cna always return it if the subtle differences bother you.

depending on what shade of gold you are going for, you might even like the beige one....i got that one to use with a dark brown sectional we bought and it does nicely as an accent

It needs a very smooth black base coat underneath. I tried it on a hammered black finish on metal and it lost almost all colorshift, so I doubt a vinyl color/surface would provide the desired effect. I would also worry about paint cracking.

They have a waxy finish, so my best guess is that it would be similar to painting a traditional wax candle. I wonder if gilding wax would work? AMACO Rub 'n Buff Wax Metallic Finish, Gold Leaf, 0.5-Fluid Ounce

The color will be close, it does not show metal flake. I did a metal flake and a solid color, the solid color came out right on the metal flake seemed off. The trick is mixing in enough hardener and color because you run out of room in the bottle. The more color the better it looks but make sure you put enough hardener in because it effects the texture and it will go farther( acts as a thinner)

Yes! Or red or yellow or blue! You'll want to make sure you clean the hook first, sand the surface for the paint to stick, and use a high quality paint intended for metal.

I'm not sure if this would work as the spray is more of a dye than a paint. I worry that you wouldn't get the color you want.

Depends on the color of the gold. I would put it with a country gold but probably not a bright gold. I have burgandy towels and it looks great. Very country.
