    This one is a lot easier than it seems. Apply Black Max (available
    from Rio Grande and other suppliers) to the gold object with a piece
    of fine (00 to 000) steel wool, or any other piece of steel that is
    suited for the job. The result is a nice, rich black. Seems to be
    fairly durable, also.
