    Jan 19, 2009 - Help with gold vacuum metalising C3PO - Which gold? #1

    I need some help here.

    I'm about to get my TK409 C3P0 gold vacuum metalised. I suppose I'm going for the pristine ROTS look or ANH throne room look.

    I need to supply a physical sample or reference photo of the shade of gold I want but C3P0 looks different in every photo I look at

    Since I'm only going to get one shot at this I want to get it right. Does anyone have a definitive reference photo of ROTS or OT C3P0 which trully represents his real color?

    Someone suggested sending a vintage 3 3/4" or 12" to use as reference. I have an ESB 3 3/4" C3P0 with removeable limbs but he looks too light, too yellow.

    Anyone got any advice? What did you use for reference?
