I can print something and spray paint over it with plastic paints I suppose.

However, PLA is more difficult to work with. Get to know your printer first. Get good with ABS before moving on.
This will probably get you the results you want, even though it looks a bit more like copper to me:

And the "gold" ABS jsut looks orange:

So just picked where I thought best. I have quite some time till my SolidDoodle 2 comes in so have been looking into 1.75mm filaments, mostly ABS and a few specials.

- Gold colored filament- Some seems just yellow. Anyone tried a gold colored filament and which looks the most "Gold"?

- Flexible Filament - I found some over at makergeeks.com that didn't have a huge international shipping cost(I am from USA). I will get it soon but still waiting on my 3D printer hehe. The only thing I saw is that you need to Print way slow, like only 25% normal.

- Wood Filament- I have seen this a few places and on Amazon.  Anyone actually try this stuff?

- I saw a video with some Nylon Filament. Interesting for sure.

I am likely getting WAY ahead of myself since I never printed anything as of yet.
