re: How is the gold so GOLD and the silver so SILVER?

hi from france :)
I was able to notice that the choice of the fondant base color was important, the gold is more realistic when it is painted on the brown and the silver on the black (or a grey for a light siver).
For an optimal result the ideal is to spend several coats of spray, while waiting for the complete drying between every coats.
