I
AM GOING WITH THE SPRAY CAN METHOD TOPPED OFF WITH A HARDENED CLEAR URETHANE.
THIS PROCESS IS GETTING MORE POPULAR ALL THE TIME WITH WHAT PROFESSIONAL
PAINTERS ARE CHARGING OR SHOULD I SAY REAMING THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH. I STARTED
WITH DUPLI-COLOR GREEN ETCHING PRIMER FOLLOWED BY DUPLI-COLOR ALUMINUM SILVER
AS THE BASE COLOR. THE OMNI-PAK CANDY APPLE RED WENT ON OVER THE SILVER AND
LOOKS GREAT. IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 1/4 OF ANOTHER CAN TO COMPLETE THE RED PARTLY
BECAUSE I WANT TO COAT AS MUCH OF THE INSIDE OF THE FRAME AS POSSIBLE. I
HAD TO TAKE THE FIRST CAN BACK BECAUSE THE PIGMENT WAS WAY TOO WEAK AND IT
WOULD HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL CANS AT THAT RATE. THE REPLACEMENT WAS JUST RIGHT.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT THE FINAL FINISH WILL LOOK LIKE. OMNI-PAK IS THE SYSTEM THAT MY LOCAL PAINT SHOP USES. THE FIRST COAT WAS APPLIED VERY LIGHT WHILE I GOT USED TO PAINTING WITH LACQUER. ONE CAN FELL ABOUT 15 SPRAYS SHORT OF FINISHING THIS FRAME. |
