Hi guys, I've got a chandelier which is very old and I'm trying to do restoration. I've send to someone to do restoration a few years ago since the gold plating faded. But the restoration work done previously wasn't quite nice. The chandelier was spray painted in gold paint but its quite dull even when newly restored. So I don't know if its a paint problem or is there any better products out there. I've sanded/rubbed down the paint using very fine grit sandpaper, including some remnants of the gold plating, revealing a shiny base metal. Not sure what was the metal material but there are fine spots of rust/oxidation, but very minimal given that this chandelier is 20yrs old. I'm considering either 1) Applying clear coat over it and leave it as such. But I really wonder if it'll have strong adhesion since the base metal is shiny now. I am inclined to do this since it'll maintain a shiny look even though its nolonger gold colour. 2) Applying Rustoleum Metallic Pure Gold paint. Has anyone tried this before? This is expensive but I'm guessing it'll turn out better than the cheap gold paint from neighbourhood hardware shops. Also, for this Rustoleum range, I think it has a primer combined in this paint so it should last a long time. Any comments?
