This is a black coated stainless steel business card. The cool part is the gold that I was able to get. If you only do one pass, the gold isn't very solid, but it looks fantastic with two passes. Results will vary based on the type of steel you use.
The gold settings came from my color test, which I got from this very nice project here: https://www.atomm.com/project/146681?utm_source=copylink&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=sharetoearn2&utm_id=865418
