Solid Gold is a mid-tone moderate metallic gold with a warm undertone. Within the P3 Paints range it ladders cleanly, Illuminated Gold for the shadows and Brass Balls for the highlights. Substitutes are thin here, with The Army Painter True Brass the closest same-finish option at 71 percent and no brand hitting the strong-match bar. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Solid Gold equivalents in other ranges
We ran P3 Paints Solid Gold against every mapped catalog and came up empty: no brand makes a color close enough to call an equivalent.
Even the nearest color, The Army Painter True Brass, dries clearly cooler and more muted than Solid Gold, so any substitute will change how the scheme reads.

Frequently asked
What is the closest equivalent to P3 Paints Solid Gold?
The closest same-finish match is The Army Painter True Brass at 71% color similarity.
What finish is Solid Gold?
Solid Gold is a metallic paint with a gold tone and a reflective finish. Because the shine comes from metal flake, a flat paint can match the color and still be wrong for the job, which is why cross-finish matches here are references rather than swaps.
What do I highlight and shade Solid Gold with?
Highlight Solid Gold toward Brass Balls and shade it down into Illuminated Gold, both P3 Paints paints in the same finish family.
