If the gold paint is completely opaque, it won't matter. If it isn't, the red paint under it will enhance the look. Red paint is recommended under a gold leafing project. I don't do plate reguilding, but I'm sure that some manufacturers use red primer under the gold. I believe green can also be used under gold.
