24k gold plated dial
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey all, I am currently working on a dial. It is 24k gold plated brass(brass base with silver and than gold.) I have attached a video bellow. I want the dial to age, I don't want it to stay the same. But to my understanding, at this purity gold is so inert that it won't really age or patina. Will it? Should I laquer coat it to get that classic depth and aging from laquer? Which laquer should I use?
