you guys prob know it already but i figure i waould post it up anyways.

if you spray florida roadster orange (boyd color) over chrome it looks like gold. fo real looks like gold. try it out on some crappy peices first and get it down.

hope it helps :biggrin:

everything that is gold was done that way

 

[nwa_fo_lyfe]

[jevries]

As far as I can see it looks rather good. The color is nice and warm instead of the useal yellow gold color. Nice! :thumbsup:

the effect can vary from dark to light gold depending on the amount of coats/or how heavy you spray it

doesn't really look much like gold plating to me.

about the same effect from that spray gold/chrome stuff in a can

 

[BigPoppa]

i think it's still hard to tell. Is that color a clear or transparent paint?
