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?

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.
