      "description": "This is a tutorial on how to paint a realistic metallic gold effect on any object for arts and crafts or cosplay. Well, it's more a video journal of how I painted my own project based on other videos I found on YouTube (Gordon Tarpley's videos in particular). I'm not very experienced with things like this and wanted to share what I learned. When I bought my own idol statue from Raiders of the Lost Ark I wanted to paint it gold myself. But quickly discovered how difficult it is to get a really convincing gold sheen. I go over my process from start to finish, sharing details about every material and step along the way.\n\nList of Materials:\n\n- Portable mini airbrush by Fatuxz: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P57VJDJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8\u0026psc=1\n- Spaz Stix Mirror Chrome airbrush paint: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015H4G2U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8\u0026psc=1\n- Testors Spray Enamel Primer 1237 (grey):https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0069G0TA0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8\u0026psc=1\n- Testors White Gloss Enamel 1245T: https://www.amazon.com/Testors-1245T-Gloss-Enamel-Multicolor/dp/B0069G1GRK/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1\u0026keywords=testors+white+gloss+enamel+1245T\u0026qid=1610653230\u0026sr=8-1\n- Liquitex High Gloss Acrylic Varnish 4 oz.: https://www.dickblick.com/items/liquitex-acrylic-polymer-varnish-high-gloss-4-oz-bottle/\n- Red and Yellow liquid food dye (McCormick): https://www.amazon.com/McCormick-Food-Coloring-Four-Assorted/dp/B007JANREK/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2YUKNWRDYNEHY\u0026dchild=1\u0026keywords=food+dye+mccormick\u0026qid=1610653294\u0026sprefix=food+dye+mc%2Caps%2C214\u0026sr=8-2\n- Natural bristle paint brushes to apply the tinted acrylic varnish: https://www.amazon.com/Ruwado-Stencil-Paintbrush-Painting-Varnishes/dp/B08HPWDRNP/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1\u0026keywords=paint+brush+natural\u0026qid=1610653396\u0026sr=8-3\n\nMusic credits:  \n\nYouTube Music Library:\n“Saving the World” \n“Epic Journey” \n“Adventure Theme” \n“Island Coconuts”  \n\n“Accralate - The Dark Contenent” by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100341 Artist: http://incompetech.com/",
