I've had my fair share of gold tone casting. My best advice? Patience. It may take some trial and error to get the desired result, especially if the gold tone doesn't turn out the way you expected.

I agree. Getting the ideal gold tone on stainless steel isn't always easy. Plus, prepping the surface is key. You need to grind off any oxidization and ensure the surface is smooth before start.

Good points, I've also found that coating the steel with lacquer before applying the gold tone can help to secure it. Anyone else tried this?

Hi all, considering casting gas struts in stainless steel. Anyone done this before - and is it worth it?
RE: Experiences with Stainless Steel Gold Tone Casting - Tips and Challenges? - Cash - 12-14-2024
I've done this before and in my experience, it depends on the application. Stainless steel is durable and resistant to rust, so great for harsh environments.

I second. I've found that stainless steel casting for gas struts really pays off for off-road vehicles. The mix of strength and rust resistance is great.

It's important to remember that the casting process can be a bit complex. So, unless you're experienced or have someone knowledgeable to do it, might be tricky.

Yep, I agree. I attempted it once and didn't get it right the first time. But once you figure it out, the benefits are huge. ===================================================topic 3: 304 Stainless Steel Grill Casting title: How Best to Implement 304 Stainless Steel Grill Casting?
