You know ye olde books with covers where the title and maybe a picture is all nice and gold ?
Is there a cheap homemade way to do such things ?
I'm pretty sure there isn't but I am hoping a rich magician is reading this and will take care of it for me.
Also not completely unrelated the gravedigger has always been called Mortimer
but he totally needs a last name and perhaps a middle initial. No puns please.

hey dude. Depends what your cover is made out of, like if it's just paper at the moment, you can use omnichrom which is a metallic foil that sticks to carbon. So you photocopy your cover design onto whatever paper, then put the omnichrom over it and iron it, and the gold sticks to the carbon. you can also put it through a laminator for a cleaner finish.
If it's a hardcover, i guess a way would be to make a stencil and use metallic gold paint. Spotlight sell the really shiny shiny chrome gold spray paint, i think about $18 a can.
Omnichrom is from art supplies stores, i know melbourne peeps have gotten it easily, i haven't asked at geelong stores.
Good luck!
Oh thanks !
This isn't gonna happen for ages but I just wanted to know if it was possible.
I will use Omnichrom mainly because it totally sounds like transformer.
Yeah I thought there was a process that worked in combination with carbon (Photocopy)...I saw a book by your friend David that used the process, so maybe talk to him
That omnichrome shite is the stuff Dave and i used on the first day stamps from bendigo.
Except we used the cheap version from waste-werks with writing every now and then for some chocolate box co.! Classy!!
btw...my word verification here sounds rude...'Assorihs'. Whats that all about!?
I thought I already asked Dave, but what I asked him about was gold embossing onto red leather.
