I want to build a small canopy roof that will be covered with metal sheets.
The dormer on the house has titanium zinc (titanium zinc sheet), so the canopy will use the same metal.
It might be gilded at some point in the future (if the upcoming lottery win needs to be stored or something 😉).
Gilding metal sheets requires a primer or base coat.
What I have learned is that gilding galvanized iron parts can be challenging, but it is possible.
Does anyone have more detailed information on whether titanium zinc can be successfully (and permanently) gilded?
For example, are there church roofs made of titanium zinc that are gilded?
