Metallic Gold revival? (1 Viewer)

[Daniel Albarran]

Is there any way to restore the 'glitter' from metallic golds? I suppose not but who knows...

It might not. This is due to a surface chemical reaction, which is essentially irreversible. The question is, how deep did the reaction go?

You could try some magic eraser, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. Other polishing agents might work, but also might be too rough on the chips surface.

Best of luck however you try.

I just bought them, I haven't tried anything.

Agreed. This reminds me there was a thread on here recently about removing 'oxidation' from other chips. Wondering if maybe the same methods could reverse the darkening of the metallic gold surfaces/edges.

Well I might be willing to try anything, I bought like 80-something chips, so I could waste one or two.

Try magic eraser and see how that does. If the magic eraser doesn't help there isn't much hope for them usually.

So be it!

Magic eraser doesn't work at all. I assume it's 100% irreversible.
