Alright, well then we can have a further discussion.

I had a sharpie bronze marker which was exactly the colour I wanted, but I found that no matter how long I let the sharpie dry, it wasn't fixing to the plastic - handling it with my fingers would inevitably smug the sharpie, and it would come off on my fingers.

Do you use anything to "fix" the sharpie so it doesn't run if you rub it (as one often does when transforming figures)? Since this is just the head maybe that's not a problem.

I was thinking of using future polish (which people seem to use to seal their customs) but in the end settled for a light wash of Tamiya Copper overtop of the sharpie, which was redder than I would like...but whatchagonnado, right? I tried Tamiya Gold (Gold Leaf maybe?) first, but that was too yellow...
