Black Golds

[LyoMoonheart]

is it that many of them don’t have their entire bellies painted? 😮 I thought for the fledge it was normal, I didn’t even notice my scratcher’s belly wasn’t all the way 😮

I was wondering about the finish also. I turned down a lap dragon because it had a dull finish. I thought about an emperor but I would have to see it in person first to make sure it is glossy.

I got a BG OW Prototype and he has more of a matte finish on the black. Does anyone know if Melody painted all the BG OW’s with matte finish or some matte and some glossy? I have #21/24.

Hello Melody!

I was just wondering about your Black Golds. Why is it some parts of them aren’t painted? The Scratchers underside is not painted the same as his neck (purple/gold) and the young dragon’s one underside also isn’t painted the purple/gold, just left black.
Is there any reason these dragons are painted differently?

Thanks 😀I think they are supposed to have black stomachs.. but I don’t remember . I need to check the paint sample.

I think they are all matte. Mine is.

my ruby fledgie only has a tiny bit of black under his chin, but his belly is seriously maroon.

They are supposed to have a less glossy finish. Black looks terrible to me if it is glossy.

My Lap’s head is just really shiny/glossy… but the body is matte. But my Scratcher is all glossy.

My lap is totally glossy and my fledgie is very matte, I love both dearly. My male black gold is kinda in between and I have to say my only problem with the color is the black bellies on some sculpts more than others, my male has coloring which goes all the way down and I thought the emperor had an all red-gold belly/chest area…

Getting a perfect matte finish is very difficult because the amount of clear coat makes a difference in the gloss. I wanted a satin finish, which is even trickier! So, they may range from slightly glossy to totally matte, depending on the exact amount of clear on them. We have trouble controlling it perfectly!

I just checked my Black Gold Scratcher sample, and he has a black stomach too. He has a semi-matte finish.
