GOLDEN Gloss Medium acrylic gloss medium 946 ml bottle — increases gloss & flow for glazes

GOLDEN Gloss Medium is a 32 fl. oz. acrylic liquid medium that increases gloss, translucency, and flow while extending paint and creating durable glazes.

Made for professional and hobby artists, this gloss medium integrates with acrylic colours to modify sheen, transparency, and viscosity without altering colour permanence. Its resinous, oil-like feel improves leveling and brush response, and it helps block Support Induced Discoloration (SID) when working over porous surfaces. Packaged in a 32 fl. oz. bottle, the product offers enough volume for layering, varnishing-like finishes, and large-scale work.

How does GOLDEN Gloss Medium change the look of acrylic paint?

Adding this medium raises the surface gloss and increases translucency, making colours appear deeper and more luminous. It’s ideal for glazing techniques where thin, transparent layers build colour and depth without cracking.

• Enhances surface sheen from satin to high gloss depending on ratio.
• Improves colour depth through increased translucency.
• Enables thin, durable glazes that adhere well to acrylic films.

Can I use it to improve paint flow and brushwork?

Yes. The medium’s resinous nature produces smoother flow and better leveling, reducing brush marks and promoting even surfaces. It behaves somewhat like an oil additive while retaining acrylic flexibility and water-based cleanup.

• Reduces drag for longer, smoother strokes.
• Promotes self-leveling for fewer visible brush strokes.
• Mixes readily with acrylics without weakening film integrity.

Will this medium change drying time or durability?

GOLDEN Gloss Medium may slightly alter open time and feel, but it dries to a stable acrylic film consistent with other acrylic mediums. It enhances long-term surface durability and is produced to professional standards for archival use.

• Dries to a tough, flexible acrylic finish compatible with acrylic systems.
• May extend working time marginally depending on mix ratios and environment.
• Helps prevent Support Induced Discoloration when applied correctly.

How should I use and store the 32 fl. oz. bottle?

Shake before use, then mix with acrylic paint or apply in thin layers with a brush, roller, or airbrush adapter. Store upright in a cool, dry place with the cap closed to preserve consistency; clean tools with water while wet.

• Shake thoroughly before application to reincorporate any separation.
• Start with small ratios (10–30%) to test effects on sheen and flow.
• Keep cap sealed and store away from freezing temperatures.

Who is this for? GOLDEN Gloss Medium 32 fl. oz. suits professional artists, students, and makers who want controlled gloss, improved glazing capabilities, and better flow in acrylic painting. It’s especially useful for painters working on larger pieces, layered glazing, mixed-media surfaces, and anyone looking to reduce surface imperfections while maintaining archival quality. Made in the USA by an experienced, employee-owned company, this medium provides a versatile, studio-ready tool for expanding the expressive range of acrylic colour.
