Trying to make this crown a bit more metallic/realistic. I used rustoleum metallic gold, and it's not quite the effect I was looking for. (lemmy.world)

What can I do for a more realistic metal finish?

Way I tend to do metal look on stuff I 3D print is cover it in glue/lacquer, then blow either actual rust powder or graphite powder all over it.

And then apply the iron/gold/silver/whatever paint over it.
