have a pink on pink raven and I love it got another 2 gold ravens to add to my collection and the gold feels spray painted. Haven't seen the gold one before and just want to know if it was made like that.
^ I'm not sure that's proof it's spray painted. When I cut the stem on a click clack, it had that same sort of coloring, not the same color as the surface. And of course, when CC sold gold and silver caps, they also had a sort of spraypainted appearance/feel.
The gold on the HKP caps is definitely a coating. When I look inside the stem it's definitely less/thinner gold and nearly white. It's hard to capture on camera...Looks like it might of been the white ravens then that where out at christmas time, as for resin I don't know anything but Brocaps has one as my three kings is a solid gold colour, and the definatly a resin as you can see its dark black with gold swirls in it :XShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/8QVI3MZ.png)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/jcRThu0.png)
I'm not willing to scrape into it like Bunny's photos to see what's inside though! :eek:
I don't know jack about cap making or molding with resin, but I assumed that this is how gold caps are done and that there isn't a "gold" resin that would give the same effect.
The subject of this thread sounds like a code phrase for spies.007 goldfinger for nerds?
"The gold raven feels spray painted."

Interesting. Did any of that wear come from normal use? I'm curious if it holds up durability-wise.Since the problem hasn't been brought up before this to my knowledge, something tells me the coating holds up to regular usage.
Don't really want to do that it might be real after all
