Not sure if I've put this in the right section or not, apologies if not! But I have a photoshoot to do next February with 3 models to paint from the waist up. The client has some fantastic idea's already which has me 'researching' non stop! ANYWAY, my question to those in the know...how much Mehron metallic gold powder will I need to properly cover a person from the waist up? I want to make sure I have enough in supply in case we go gold crazy Very Happy

That stuff goes a super long way. Assuming you are using Mehron Mixing liquid, I'd think one small bottle of the powder per person would be erring on the side of caution. But maybe I am being optimistic. Wolfe Aztec Gold looks AMAZING as well.... BTW.

You'll need one bottle of Mehron Metallic Powder
and one bottle Mehron Mixing Liquid.

Thank you Loretta!

Have experimented by painting my hand with the gold powder and abit of olive oil, AMAZING results but would need to be done at the last minute because I couldn't touch anything, but washed off very easily.

Thanks again for the advice.

Right. Oil can be used, best use baby oil, but it is a different effect. It is for when you want the paint to move, a rare use.

If you mix it with water the metallic powder likes to clump up and you can have a good deal of waste in both product and time. So that is fine for small areas.

For a pro job, use the Mehron Mixing Liquid.
