I'm working on some sculptures that I 3d printed and cast in plastic (as well as making a couple solid aluminum ones) and I've been having a heck of a time getting a nice durable faux metal finish. Issues with finger printing, dry times, decent clear coat, etc.
Point being, I'm now looking to cold casting to make plastic bronze and aluminum versions. I've done quite a bit of research.
Here's my question, for an aluminum one, should I tint the plastic? If so, what color? I'm planning on using Smooth-Cast 325.
I've added an image of what I've produced for reference. They are about 7.5" tall.
