Scrowley Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Hi, I’m a beginner and am making miniatures for my dollhouse. I’ve used Collorrobia C-A gold on some of my pieces as accent where needed. It’s very bright (as it’s supposed to be) but I’m wondering if colorrobia or Duncan (or any other) has a gold luster that fires not so bright- I don’t know if “matte” is the word I’m looking for since the purpose of these fired on lusters is to be bright gold- just would like an option that’s not as bright. Thanks- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 I believe lustres are also affected by the texture of the glaze that they’re put on. If you’ve applied your lustre to a glossy glaze like the manufacturer suggests, you could try putting it over a textured or matte glaze. If you’re finding the existing look a bit too extra, you could also try taking a little sand paper to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 They work best on shiny glazes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liambesaw Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Callie is right, if you want a matte or dull finish you need to apply to a matte glaze Warning though, it doesn't look the way you think it might Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
