Hi, I'm back.  The product I used was Superlite Pale Gold Leaf Finish.
Cutting and pasting from various web sources, I can tell you this info about
the manufacturer:

Sheffield Bronze Paint Corp.
17814 S. Waterloo Road
Cleveland, OH 44119
216/481-8330
Fax: 216/481-6606

These are their finishes:
COPPER LEAF FINISH
DEEP GOLD LEAF
PALE GOLD LEAF FINISH
RICH GOLD LEAF
SUPERLITE PALE GOLD LEAF FINISH

I should correct myself...it has bronze powder as its pigment, not gold
dust.  I have to remember the labels more closely; I just recalled that it
had metal for the pigment and presumed the metal.  On the plus side, it
should be less expensive than gold dust.  On the bad side, I'll bet it's
still expensive even in bulk.
