Is that a resin cast or actual painted skull? The gold contrasts beautifully

It’s a deer skull I painted. Thank you

I specifically painted it gold for her enclosure.

Do you chemically/physical clean them or do you beetle clean? Because that specimen looks sheared clean.

I have cleaned skulls before, I put them on a red ant hill and leave it. Then I bleach em. I'm sure others do it differently

I chemically/physically cleaned it then did a matte layer of paint before painting the gold.
