Annie Sloan advice - gilting paint

I have just finished painting my kitchen with Annie Sloan chalk paint, our kitchen is tiny, very dated but fantastic quality so until we extend the house and kitchen it's totally pointless replacing it so everything is on a budget. I've painted the tiles white and done two tone cupboards, the tip pure white and the bottom grey. However, the door handles I feel really let it down so I'm thinking of painting them silver using the Sloan gilding paint.
Has anyone whose used it able to say - can it be used as a solid paint? All YouTube videos seem to show people using it to highlight features as opposed to solid paint.
Also, how far does it go?! The cupboards have handles across the top/bottom of them. Pic attached to try and explain. I'm wondering if the tubes of paint will go far if it'll cost a small fortune

Hi I think it’s usually used as a base then paint over & sand, with the gilt coming through, lots of paints do a metallic finish paint in small tins.
Craig & Rose, dulux I think & B&Q now do specialist non primer furniture paint, also a lot cheaper than AS.
