Many people might not know about this spray paint because we wouldn't normally reach for spray paint that come in such a small size!!
I would recommend that you get it using a 40% coupon from Michael's!

Review of various brands of gold spray paint for gold color quality:

Chase brand Champion 24kt Gold - This has been my “go to” gold spray paint for years. Michaels arts and crafts store doesn't carry this, but I used to always get it from AC Moore arts and crafts store, before it went out of business. It was the most expensive gold spray paint they carried, so I assumed it was the best without ever doing a comparison. But for what it costs, it’s not that great. This is certainly better than the $3 - $4 gold spray paints you can get from hardware stores like Home Depot but not worth the $10 price point. I would describe this as dingy gold or dirty gold.

Design Master brand Gold Medal - This has been rated as the best gold spray paint by so many youtubers who use a lot of gold spray paint. Design Master has different types of gold spray paint and most people seemed to like the "Gold Medal." This has the appearance of a brighter gold because it is a COOL gold color with a greenish hue. It is good but certainly not the best gold spray paint, so I would not recommend it as my top choice.

Krylon Metallic Gold 1701 – This is a rusty, dark gold color. It’s actually more of a bronze color than gold color, so I don’t like it.

Krylon Metallic Gold 1706 – This is also a brighter gold, but it is a WARM gold color with a reddish hue. It’s nice but I would not recommend it as my top choice. This would be my second choice for warm tone gold.

Ace brand Antique Gold - The color is very dark, and I realized that it's because I got the “antique gold” color paint. This seems more like old bronze and not really gold-colored. It is one of cheapest spray paints you can get from a hardware store, but it is also the ugliest. I would not recommend it at all.

Sparvar brand - The gold color is quite nice but this paint color is discontinued. I’m still doing a review on it because folks might be able to find some on eBay. It’s got a tinge of red and is not very bright, but the color is not bad at all. It's nice, but I wouldn't recommend it as my top choice.

Zynolyte brand Speed E-Namel - The gold color of this spray paint is close to that of Champion 24kt, but it is a bit darker and definitely an inferior quality spray paint than Champion 24kt. The price point reflects that. You can’t find this spray paint in hardware stores nor in arts and craft stores, but many ONLINE vendors sell this in multipack. The price you would have to buy a single can would not be worth it. If you buy a case of 6, the price comes out to be around $4. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you need to be budget conscious and need to purchase several cans of gold spray paint.

Krylon Short Cuts Gold Leaf - This is a stellar gold spray paint! It is absolutely lovely! It is a brilliant, clean gold color, and has a nice sheen to it. It is very beautiful. This costs $4 - $5 for 3 oz., so the cost of this spray paint is by far the most expensive! If you do the math, that’s about $16 - $20 for 12 oz.
