And for my Mark 42 I use Champagne Pear from Dupli-Color which is a gold. Hope that helps some
By the way im actually looking for a metallic yellowish gold paint xD sorry for changing my mind it looks alot better, also this is the thing im trying to replicate I already modelled it. Any better suggestions for paint would be great.View attachment 277063
oh okay by the way just look up medabot medal and you'll see what im trying to replicate its from an old cartoon I would really appreciate your input I've seen your work and it is simply awesome.Can't see your attachment. But if you have an airbrush the best gold you can use is Alclad II gold.
And I use a 2 part epoxy primer that automotive grade. You can see the colour of it in my painting thread
.im gonna try out your techniques and the metallic. gold tamiya paint and hopefully i get some good results c:

Take a polycarbonate it literally paints on anything and creates a really smooth surface I use it for everything XD
just a question.. in that tamiya pic it shows that it contains acetone.. isn't that used to melt/smooth out 3d prints? then.. is that a good thing or bad thing? lol i would test it out first....
