I would recommend Rub ‘n’ Buff. They make really good colors and you can get the uneven tones that make a piece more realistic. They even have rust effect ones if you want to go there (great for crevices).
I'm definitelt going to give it a try!
Which gold do you think would be closest to the gold on this.
The patina on that crown leads me to believe it's actually copper or bronze. You might want to shoot for metallics that emulate those more than gold.
Yes, but polished to look gold.
I honestly don’t know. I have only used it for paper crafts and only had a brass and silver color.
Ended up using gold leaf. Would have liked to use grecian gold, but neither craft store near me had it.
I saw the new post. Looks like good progress.
Thank you! Did some touch ups too.
