Something different and fun!

Duplicolor MetalCast Blue


60 grit sandpaper... You can use 40 & 20 grit! Experiment on your own.


I forst smooth out the steel chassis surface with Mouse Sander and Med grit sandpaper












Heating up the can in hot tap water to improve paint flow

Very cool idea, looks way better than I would have figured it would! I have to ask, is there a reason the paint is in a pan of water on the floor or is it just some kind of modern art thing? wink.gif

its to heat it up and make it spray evenly / avoid clogging etc. spray cans are very sensitive smile.gif

*impessive work as usual!

yep...s10man told me about that site yesterday....said it was just 2 guys.... pretty cool...

I did a case mod using that Duplicolor paint....it's suposed to look like anodizing when done...
I used the purple color and it was very blotchy... so I put 7 coats on it and it's a deep purple with no effect... but it turned out way cool with a orbit light in the front panel and snake and skull sticker on the side...wink.gif

good job though...I like flames...
