Gold metallic wall paint, help?!?!?

ok so im getting a new room and want it like a royal design and want to paint it metallic gold, with kind of paint stroke texture.


so two questions for that.


1. how would i achieve this texture? (does messily painting it work, like random strokes?)


2. Where could i purchase metallic gold paint?








Ok i want to try this other idea, royal blue, with gold metallic accent.


could i just paint it with blue and glaze over it with gold shimmer or gold metallic paint? or how would i achieve this? tips?











THANKS IN ADVANCE %26lt;3Gold metallic wall paint, help?!?!?
1) you might consider doing your royal things on huge pieces on wall board, sheets or hangings and then it will be less burden some to paint over.





2) For a paint stroke texture you can just add joint compound to paint and trowel it on. ';venetian plaster';. You don't have to go through all those steps in the videos. I did my wall with the deer head and it looks awesome.





3) You might try some sculpture paint tools to raise stars ( crests, or whatever) and then paint these smaller areas or border gold with spray paint. like just a little metallic. Not a whole room. Gold wall may look garish.





4) You might consider some wallies. or just doing one accent wall. They have whole wall wallies for $150.





I personally like the royal blue with metallic accent.





I did another room with one wall, blue with cloud stencils. The wall is across from the bead. dreamy.





BTW -decorating is not my thing.





For really royal try doing some stained glass....maybe you can get a plain glass piece to go over the window. then paint it.Gold metallic wall paint, help?!?!?
Hope it turns out well...
