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.
