Litokol Starlike Finishes Gold is a colour effect that you mix into Starlike EVO as a third component. The 150-gram sachet is pre-dosed for a 5 kg bucket, so you don't have to weigh it out. It is therefore not an independent grout but an additive to a bucket that you purchase separately.
Colour & atmosphere
Gold adds a warm golden glitter to the grout. It's a small detail that only stands out when the light hits it just right — exactly the intention.
Product & application
This effect can be mixed with any colour from the Starlike EVO range. The intensity of the original colour does not change.
- Ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware and mosaic
- Clinker
- Wall and floor, indoors only
- Bathrooms, kitchens, shops and showrooms
- Furniture elements and columns
Note the limitations. Do not use a bucket with this effect outdoors — on terraces, balconies, facades, and in swimming pools — as the additives are poorly resistant to UV radiation. Also, do not use it on surfaces that come into contact with aggressive chemicals, such as industrial floors.
Substrate & compatibility
The substrate requirements are those of Starlike EVO itself: the joints must be clean, dust-free, open for the full tile thickness, and the tile adhesive must be completely dry and cured.
- With any colour from the Starlike EVO range
- Also mixable with FillGood EVO
- Pre-dosed for the bucket size: this sachet is for 5 kg
- Not for outdoor applications
- Not on surfaces with aggressive chemical loads
The effect is most pronounced on a surface where daylight or artificial light falls. In a dark corner, you will see little of it.
Processing
First, mix the hardener (part B) into the coloured paste (part A) of Starlike EVO, using a slow-speed mixer, until a lump-free mass is obtained. Then carefully pour in this sachet and mix gently until it is evenly distributed.
- Pour in carefully: the powder is light and easily scatters
- Mix at low speed, otherwise the product will splash
- Apply with a rubber float, diagonally to the joint direction
- Most favourable between +18 °C and +23 °C
- Clean while the product is fresh
Do not add water or solvent to make it easier to spread. Below +10 °C, the mixture becomes thick and difficult to work with, and curing takes much longer; do not start if the temperature drops below +10 °C within 24 hours. In warm weather, spread the product quickly over the surface, as the reaction heat in the bucket shortens the working time.

Frequently asked questions
Do I also need a bucket of Starlike EVO for this? Yes. This is an additive, not a grout in itself. The sachet is pre-dosed for a 5 kg bucket, which you order separately.
Does this change my grout colour? The intensity of the original colour does not change.
Can this also be used on my balcony or terrace? No. These additives are poorly resistant to UV radiation and are therefore only intended for indoor use. For outdoor use, use a regular EVO colour without effect.
How do I prevent the powder from scattering? Pour it slowly into the already mixed bucket and keep the mixer speed low. The powder is very light, so pouring quickly or mixing hard will make it stir up.
