These are name brands in the 4 ton 6 dollar range, I have painted on metal, plastic etc and I do get a bright gold effect but not the way the cap shows your refection. I have tried to polish with bad results. I have tried multiable coats with no increase in reflectivity. I have clear coated and used alternating layers of paint and clear coat with no reflectivity increase. The caps are clear plastic and then the paint appears to be over the plastic and can be scratched off. Any suggestions before I talk to the help lines of the paint makers? I tried the "chrome" paint and it works so so and then tried the gold over the chrome and no reflectivity.

You could try a glossy polyurethane over the paint. I think that's what they intend for you to do.

I have used many gold spray paints also and never have had the shiny gold result the top of the can suggest. Calling the paint companies might give you some ideas. Good Luck.
