About the product

GOLDEN Isolation Coats

Seal the deal with an extra layer of protection for your acrylic pieces!

GOLDEN's Isolation Coat is a permanent acrylic medium that can be applied to completed acrylic paintings to seal surface absorbency, and unify and protect the surface. Apply one or more layers before varnishing to help ensure an even application of varnish and provides a layer of protection if/when varnish is removed.

This ready-to-use medium is an alternative to diluting Soft Gel Gloss with water, eliminating the need to measure and mix while increasing flow and leveling.


An isolation coat is a significant and permanent addition to a painting and inevitably will cause changes in the painting's surface qualities. Before applying to your acrylic paintings, we recommend reviewing GOLDEN's Varnish Application Guidelines to ensure an isolation coat and varnishing is right for your work.

An isolation coat that enhances colors before varnishing. Customers said it "brought out the colors" in paintings and reported impressive results across many projects. One shopper has used it for over 100 paintings and "wouldn't go without it." Most reviews are highly positive, though one rating was mixed.

What’s the difference between the golden isolation coat and golden gloss medium

Opus Art Supplies

In general: the isolation coat is used as a barrier between the painting and the final varnish coat (so that you can remove the varnish without damaging the painting underneath) whereas the gloss medium is just the acrylic binder without any pigment added
