FAQs
What surfaces can I use Viva Decor Inka Gold on?
It is ideal for absorbent surfaces such as untreated wood, cardboard, and unglazed pottery. It can also be used on primed surfaces.
How do I achieve the best metallic finish?
Apply the paste thinly in a circular motion using a sponge or cloth, and polish simultaneously. For a richer effect, apply multiple thin layers and polish once dry.
Does Inka Gold need to be sealed?
While it has a durable finish, sealing with a clear varnish is recommended for surfaces that will be handled frequently or exposed to moisture to ensure maximum longevity.
Can I mix Inka Gold colors?
Yes, the wax pastes can be mixed to create custom metallic shades.
How should I store Inka Gold paint?
Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its consistency and prevent drying out.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
For outdoor use, it is highly recommended to seal the finished project with a durable, weather-resistant varnish.
How do I clean my tools after use?
Tools can be cleaned with soap and water while the paint is still wet. Once dry, it becomes more water-resistant but can still be cleaned with appropriate solvents.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven
Apply thinner layers and ensure simultaneous polishing during application. Allow adequate drying time between layers for a smoother finish.
Metallic sheen is not as bright as expected
Apply additional thin layers to build color intensity. Ensure the surface is properly prepped and dry before application. Polish thoroughly once dry.
Paste is too thick or dry
Ensure the jar is sealed tightly when not in use. If slightly dried, try adding a tiny amount of water and mixing thoroughly, though this may affect consistency. Avoid excessive moisture.
Contamination in the jar
Always use a clean palette knife or separate tool to remove product from the jar. Avoid dipping brushes or fingers directly into the main container.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use Viva Decor Inka Gold, it's recommended to remove the desired amount of paste from the jar using a clean palette knife to prevent contamination and extend the product's life. Apply the wax paste thinly onto the desired surface using a sponge, damp brush, finger, or cloth in a circular motion, polishing simultaneously. For a more intense color, apply multiple thin layers, allowing each to dry before applying the next. For intricate details or hard-to-reach areas, a lightly moistened brush is effective. Once dry, polish the surface to enhance the metallic shine. The paint is compatible with absorbent surfaces such as untreated wood, cardboard, and unglazed pottery. For added protection and longevity, especially on high-touch items, it can be sealed with a clear varnish after it has fully dried. Store the jar tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
