Painted gold metallic crown molding


Painted gold metallic crown molding is such an elegant and rich compliment for any ceiling that needs a touch of sophistication. Gold metallic paint comes in many hues and emulates gold leaf.

These molding are made of foam with a sturdy shell which can be painted. There are countless designs and sizes. Try to paint the moldings before they are applied to the ceilings, its much easier.

 I start off applying a golden tan tinted latex primer and then apply a golden tan latex base coat. Once the base has dried fully I apply two coats of metallic gold latex with a brush. Then I apply a chocolate glaze with a brush and wipe off the excess with a cotton rag.  The glaze dries and it leaves a beautiful aged patina. Looking up has never been better!
