I bought mask here (link) and I pointed it using Citadel Auric Armour Gold paint.

Awesome. I need to get some more shapeways masks, been meaning to get the higher res achryllic MoUP and cyberhands mask of Time. They look so good in auric gold

That's really nice. I didn't even know what Shapeways was until this post!

Cool, this looks really authentic! I haven't ever actually ordered any 3D printed masks or LEGO parts, but when I do I will keep this paint color in mind! I really love the warmness of LEGO's "Warm Gold" (Pearl Gold) a lot better than the more brownish look of the earlier "Sand Yellow Metallic" (Flat Dark Gold), so it's good to know that there's a paint color that approximates it pretty well. :)

Did you find that it needed any sort of sanding before painting it?

[PrimoUltimo]

Surface isn't totally smooth like in original Bio masks, so sanding could help, but I'm not expert in that and I don't want to damage it. But even without sanding it's good enough after painting.

its a paint designed to be used as a layer, so it works best if you spray paint the mask gold first. this will further help smooth it down too.

Little update. I get second Ignika in Bionicle Heroes Style too.
