How do I “antique” my yellow gold kitchen paint color?


I have a very flat (looking) gold yellow color in my kitchen and it’s just not what I hoped for. It’s really corny and kiddish looking. I have stainless steel appliances and reddish orange brown cabinets and butcher block countertops and red and green and orange accents (art, bowls etc). I want it tuscan looking so what kind of paint do I need to buy or how do I even do it?
I want to paint the walls not cabinets

I want to spray some furniture with gold metallic spray paint but want varnish so it doesn’t tarnish.

Is tehre any partoicular varnish that is advsiable? Something that wouldn’t attract loads of dust but wouldn’t make teh gold look dull?

Recovering gold from circuit boards and stuff?

Filed under: Do It Yourself (DIY) — Tags: , , — @ 1:33 pm

I have over 200 or so non working old NES cartridges and lots of other boards from other electronic what-nots . I broke one open and the fingers and lines seem to be gold. I heard you could recover gold from the boards and stuff, should I remove the flat black boxes and diodes or what-nots or will they melt down and evaporate?
