Answer 1

That depends upon how you plan to accomplish this.
Metal dusts applied as makeup have caused near-fatal lung conditions.
Metal flake in organic solvents may be toxic on account of the solvents themselves.

Answer 2

Myth: Goldfinger

A person covered in gold paint will die. To prevent this an open area of skin should be left open at the base of the spine.

The Experts:

Heather Joseph-Witham, folklorist, helps explain the myth.

Ronald R Brancaccio, dermatologist. In the James Bond movie "Goldfinger," Shirley Eaton played a secretary that betrayed her boss, Goldfinger, and was murdered by having her skin covered with gold paint. He thinks that this myth may be based on chemicals that were included in the past in make-up paints most notably lead. He says the amount of oxygen absorbed through the skin is minimal, and same with the carbon dioxide. He also stated that this should not be tried by the viewers because covering the body in paint can cause heat stroke.

Shirley Eaton, actress. She says the morning of the shoot wasn’t pleasant because she felt like she had the flu. Eaton says removing the paint was not a pleasant experience either. She is also very much alive.

Action/Results: Paramedics take Jamie’s vital signs while he runs on a treadmill for 10 minutes. Then Jamie is painted with latex-based gold paint and runs on the treadmill for another 10 minutes to see if there is a difference in the vital signs. To insure there is no allergic reaction a test patch of paint is placed on Jamie. On the first run on the treadmill Jamie’s blood pressure is 134/90, perfectly normal. After the paint is applied and before Jamie starts running on the treadmill his blood pressure rises to 140/110, and he says it feels like he is coming down with the flu. The paramedics become worried and do a consult over the radio; the recommendation is not to have Jamie run on the treadmill. Once the gold paint is removed Jamie feels normal. Inconclusive. Jamie thinks everything would have been fine and the myth would have been busted, but why take a chance.

Answer 3

You would be gold.




P.S: You needed to pay attention in English, you just said "What would be the effect of painting you are body gold?"

Answer 5

Skin suffocation. In the film "Goldfinger," James Bond induces a girl accomplice of Auric Goldfinger to betray him. In revenge, Goldfinger has the girl entirely painted in gold paint, causing her death. As James Bond matter-of-factly explains to some one afterward, you have to leave a small area at the base of the spine uncovered for the skin to "breathe."

Answer 6

It will just make you look like gold. And if your mean real gold, then your would be heavy, it is a metal after all, and if you could get it to stick to you, then gold to you. Though that would be very expensive to paint yourself with pure gold. And why would you wnat to paint yourself gold?

Answer 7

None!

"Mythbusters" pretty much proved this to be untrue.

Seems to be a strange idea either believed by Ian Flemming (Wrote the "James Bond" books), or put forward by him in his books, perhaps for a joke?

Either way, it was in the film and now seems to have entered into folklore!

Answer 8

You would look like someone who painted their body gold.

The link is common sense.

The person who would do that has no common sense.

In fact the person who would ask that question has no common sense.

Answer 9

A part in a James Bond film?

Answer 10

you would have to leave an open spot because if you shut off all the pores of your body you will die....
