How to use Vallejo Liquid Gold Paints? painting tutorial | buypainted | warhammer

[jamieoliver1976]

can you highlight this type of paint or is the effect good enough. what do you mix with it to create shades and highlights as i am thinking of getting some to paint commander dante of the blood angels. could you do a more in depth tutorial on this topic please.

[DarianZG]

With old bottles of Vallejo Liquid Gold, do you just add more isopropanol to the bottle to keep it reconstituted?

[Buypainted]

@DarianZG No, I don't. I throw away this pot and buy new one

[Buypainted]

@DarianZG No. I dilute paints only before painting

[animelover1777]

Gr8 video :D Question for you, you say to use Isopropanol but does it matter how strong it is as you can buy 70% or 90% and was just wondering if it made a difference or will any strength do? cheers

[Buypainted]

@animelover1777 buy the strongest one :)

[v3st37]

Thanks for this guide. I've bought couple of bottles and Vallejo Thinner in a shop, but paint was to thick to use it and it wasn't diluted with thinner. So, all pots of Liquid Gold Paints were standing on a shelf without use for a long time.

[reddragon162]

Glad you finally posted a video on these paints. I've been wondering about them ever since I started watching your videos.

[raulpato60]

WHAT KIND OF BRUSHES DO YOU USE? meaning labels

[Buypainted]

@raulpato60 MagPol, Kolibri, PP Studio series, PP Hobby Series, Games Workshop

It's great to see your chanel growing my friend going from a few hundred to a few thousand views in a few months is great. Keep up the good work

[ConnorIsSteel]

Thank you so much for this guide, I just bought the gold and was worried I would do something wrong!

[CruxTerminatusMinis]

Just got my set of liquid gold yesterday all because I watched your videos !!!! Can't wait to try them out. Please keep posting your great videos.

[Fury1987able]

Where would be a good place to get brush sets from for this kind of work please?

[Drozbeth]

just the video i has looking for :D thanx! and great work

[Brainleaf74]

i will have to try these paints thanks :)

[Fury1987able]

Does it make much difference if you use isopropanol instead of the Vallejo thinner?

[Buypainted]

@Fury1987able Thinner is a vinyl resin, isopropanol is a isopropyl alcohol. The vinyl resin reacts with alcohol and make the paint useless

[Fury1987able]

@Buypainted I understand that m8 my question was does it make a difference in quality if you use the Isopropanol instead of the thinner or is either one of the two fine to use, not both the thinner and isopropano together ofc

[TassjyBlog]

@Fury1987able The paint is already suspended in alcohol - that's where the problem would arise from.

[Fury1987able]

@TassjyBlog ahh righty ty didnt know that before as new to this stuff ty

[Buypainted]

@Fury1987able Most important rule - add alcohol to alcohol based paints (like liquid gold series) and Vallejo thinner to acrylic paints. Otherwise you will destroy your paint.

[Fury1987able]

@Buypainted Cheers :)

[setlerskrul]

Czyli mozna uzywac zwykly spirytus? Czy musi byc jakis specjalny?

[Buypainted]

@setlerskrul izopropanol jest lepszy, ale możesz też użyć denaturatu

[davion6669]

Awesome tutorial!! ( as always) .

One question, after the paint is applied can you pin wash or wash like you would do it with a standard acrylic paint?, oh btw , would u use them on an airbrush ?

thx! and keep on doing this wonderful vids!

[Buypainted]

@davion6669 These paints are not suitable for airbrushes. Liquid Gold series can be washed

[isawul00k]

Thanks!

[Thulsa790]

This is the exact same way I use it. It's worth mentioning that you shouldn't get any water in the paint or paint pot as it can actually rust the paint.

[peregudovoleg]

I bought it of ebay (cooper, after I saw BP tutorials) and it worth every penny. Unfortunatelly I couldn't find old gold or when I did it was out of the stock. I did some googling but to no vain. Does anyone know where I can order this very old gold? Thanks

[HaWior]

@peregudovoleg

I have ordered mine on Maelstromgames.

[JimChaize]

Great tutorial so far!

[madjack9]

Excellent tips. I've had some of this paint for a while and never realized I shouldn't be painting out of the pot. Thanks again.

[close313]

I've always made the mistake of using it out of the bottle. No wonder painting becomes harder over time! By the way, all of mine have large clumps of pigment that doesn't seem to separate at all! Anyone has an idea how to dissolve them? They always stick to my stirrer and nothing happens when i stir it.

[Buypainted]

@close313 sorry - your paint is useless now

[clansittingducks]

@Buypainted not really try future floor finish

[close313]

@Buypainted The delivery of the message makes me quite sad :( haha. Thanks

[zacret]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I bought these paints for my tomb king army after watching you paint the phinx

[NstHarlequin]

Many thanks for this tutorial, short sweet and to the point :)

[NstHarlequin]

@KainTLA Both maelstrom games and wayland games have them for sale online and they are UK based

[HollowVampire]

I got this paint and it was horrible. The paint inside was chunky as if someone left it open and dropped water inside.

[Buypainted]

@HollowVampire This is old paint. When this paint gets old, a pigment gathers in "chunks/flakes" and paint becomes useless.

[HollowVampire]

@Buypainted Ugh... Another words, I got ripped off.

[18F4V]

Great video, thanks for posting.

[terrellscoggins]

What do you clean your brush with afterwards? Alcohol or solvent based brush cleaner?

[Buypainted]

@terrellscoggins i use a nitro solvent

[FatherKarl]

Awesome, thanks very much for this! Now Vallejo should owe you some sort of money for endorsing their paint. lol.

[KainTLA]

Shame it seems impossible to get in the UK :(

[Molasar87]

Thx for tutorial Morti, what kind of izopropanol do you use? (jakiego izopropanolu używasz? bo widzę ze bardziej się opłąca jego zakup niż tego tinera winylowego vallejo :D Pozdro )

[Buypainted]

@Molasar87 izopropanol to czysty spirytus propylowy. Producent nie ma znaczenia - tak jak przy zakupie normalnego spirytusu. Do farb akrylowych się nie nadaje

[Molasar87]

@Buypainted dziękuje pięknie i kłaniam się dwornie *thumb up* good tip

[nickfun82]

Thank you Jaro'! All questions answered!!! :)

Nikos.

[chaoticflanagan]

Thanks for all of your tutorials! Just curious, but do you use alcohol to thin all of your paints or just this liquid metallic series?

[Headcrabb]

@chaoticflanagan The liquid gold series paints are alcohol based, so yes, just the liquid range.

[MrTamborineman]

thanks a lot for this video, much appreciated!

[MrBlazeProductions]

brilliant video, very helpful! I have got to get these paints now lol

[YeahMF]

It looks like a really good product.

The finish is like plate.

[drpepe]

Great tips ... I picked up some of the liquid gold range after watching the sanguinary guard video the results have been fantastic

[comissar1998]

great vid!!!! want to pick up some of these bad
