Dark Gold pieces go dark, paint?

Recommended Posts

The gold pieces of my Bionicle sets from 2003-2005 in time "tarnish" and I don't know what to do to stop or revert the process.

I tried bicarbonate, lemon juice, ammonia, peroxide, soap, salt, leaving a piece in the sun for a couple of hours, casting it in boiling water, putting it in a peroxide glass and leaving it in the sun. No results at all.

I was considering painting my Avohkii, but I don't know how to achieve the perfect color.

Do you know what paint/dye I might use? I want the piece to match the original 2003 gold from LEGO.

Thank you :)

Have you tried putting the pieces in hydrogen peroxide and leaving them in the sun for a few hours? I had a helmet that was badly yellowed and put it in the sun for a few in the HP. When I took it out, already it was looking better, not completely white, but good enough so I know it works. Just waiting for warm weather to finish off that helmet and some other yellowed pieces. Not too sure if this would work on gold, though? :classic:

Try rubbing it with some brasso or toothpaste. It might just come off.
