spring has finally came .. it's a good time to resume the project again. check out the rest of this article for the wip.
the vinyl sticker turned out ok. not the easiest to work with due to the size of the sheet and the complexit of the patterns + they don't stick too well on rough surfaces. so ended up the sheet was divided into pieces with some works on masking.
hobby lacquer paints were being used. a bit expenisve, but they came handy and it's easier to control with an airbrush. also industrial paints out there might melt the vinyl sheet.
let's get started
glossy black
gold
clear red
this is it!
thoughts:
one of the problem is that the pink undercoat itself is not smooth enough to give it a shiny finish. it's better to clear coat the pink or at least sand it down a little more before start. coming up will be appling tons of clear coats. hopefully it can be done before the end of the summer. |
