I wondered what the opinions are on this? I want to cast something to look like gold, but I don't mind if it looks like tacky gold plastic jewellery (that would suit the project nicely).
I just can't seem to find anything to do it, I asked my supplier of smooth-cast here in the UK as they had a pic of this nice gold cylon helmet;

They were really helpful but thought it was painted rather than pigmented, so I thought I'd see if anyone had done this or had suggestions.
I've heard of something called rub n buff for metal finishes so i don't know if that would work?
The finished piece is a pendant, designed to be worn - it probably won't be, but it should at least stand up to being worn!
Thanks.
