In Response To: 18-kt gold leaf paint solves a problem... *PIC* (Robert N Pruden)

Originally, I was gonna do the Metis infinity symbol in metal flake but the gold paint looked so good around the fleur-de-lis that I opted to change my plan. The image below is what I got. I still need to do one more coat of gold paint to finish this one up. I am not sure what my next step will be tonight now that I have used the gold paint. Having breathed in enough toluene to accidently paint my fingers gold, I think I will take the rest of the evening off, let the paint work dry, eat and watch a movie. Not sure if I can just let the kayak sit alone in the garage but I'm gonna try.
