I have never used Faskolor.
I looked up Faskolor glitter copper, it is basically copper flakes that you meant to add to a transparent base and then apply your desired colour as a backing. If there are too many copper flakes for you then spray less on and/or put less flakes with the base. If the flakes are too large then glitter is not what you want.
Do you have pictures of the colours you want?

Try a few experiments with the colours you have....I see you have dark brown...any silver/orange/ruby/white/black?

Be sure to put some pictures up when it is all painted.

Status: offline 		Found a better way to get the coppers colors I want. Createx has a pearl copper,it looks gold, but, backed with a mix of dark brown and/or beige it makes any shade copper I need. A hint that's been in this forum before, clear empty 2 liter bottles of soda are great ways to practice, rinse, scuff and rinse again. I don't drink soda but I know people who drink lots of it, they are happy to let me have the bottles.
