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?

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.
