Golden Regular Gel (Gloss, Matte and Semi-Gloss): holds moderate peaks and texture with the same creamy consistency as Golden Heavy Body Acrylic colors. It is ideal for extending paint and regulating translucency without changing the consistency of Heavy Body and Matte colors. The Regular Gel Gloss is ideal for glazing and other techniques where transparency is desired.

 
Golden Heavy Gel (Gloss, Matte and Semi-Gloss): has a thicker consistency than Golden Heavy Body Acrylic colors and dries to a translucent finish. It is ideal for thickening paints to achieve bolder peaks and textures.
