MeanGene posted a post in a topic,
Here is a quick look at the molds.
Will make a deep dive video showing the molds, tell the story of who made them, how they came from Stan Winstons shop back in the day and how they came to us.

Wolf cleaner kit
I had him scale it down. My preference. I didn’t want to buy the medkit as well.- 1

This is who made it for me. He makes all the armor parts. Or you can buy his file and do it yourself. -

The upgraded ritual hunter
Looking good. A Predator suit never seems to be complete. Always changing it to get it just right. If you need hands, try reaching out to Chuck Ruffing. He makes all kinds of Predator costume pieces.- 1

That's a good point. They could've used Shellac. You can buy clear shellac or "Amber" Shellac (which would've accented the gold aspects of the helmet). However, Shellac is not water resistant, and scenes involving water probably would've messed with the helmets finish. I dunno.

Huzzah! That's what I figured they did. But, my only question now, is what did they use to seal the paint work and the plating? As I'm sure you know, spraying a clear over just metallic paint kinda flattens it and kills the sheen.

Rob, you were 100% right. Good work.
I asked Jordu Schell who worked on the film if it was gold plated. He stated the following:
"As I recall, everything was plated in a copper material, and then aged to look worn and used. What you see in the photo is the helmet prior to this aging process, no doubt. It looks very gold in the photo, but was much more of a coppery look in person."
