Trust me, I tried. And I wasted half an afternoon and a lot of paint and couldn't get it right. I came close to the right color, but couldn't get the 'sheen' or 'sparkle' from my blended paints.
It pisses me off when I have to admit there are some things I simply can't do. After fighting my ego I finally I gave up and headed to Dick Blick's and bought a jar of the stupid stuff. Both Liquitex and Golden have 'Gold' paint, but it ain't cheap. Still, it was cheaper than wasting paint trying to get the right effect.
So, in case the need should ever arise again, how would you mix the right colors (with acrylics) to get the shinny gold effect?
