The aluminum and silver are probably very similar in composition.
Something most people don’t know: Almost all metallic pigments, regardless of color, are aluminum. The pigment particles are given a different coating to produce different colors.
Thanks Ross! I didn’t know that[:O] I kinda wondered if they were similar tho.
Hrm. I would have seen that base as a perfect excuse to try out a foil application project. Have you considered that approach?
[banghead] Doh!! I shoulda thought of that!![banghead][censored][D)] Now I just shot the last coat of flat black a little bit ago and now you’ve given me an idea… an I still do the foil on it where I want the silver? Now I’ve been meaning to try foiling my projects sometime & yeah, thiis would be a fairly simple test run…
To be honest with you Eddie, they seemed like exactly the same paint just with different labels on the bottle. [:(]
Thank you bro! I have a long way to go still. Hope this doesn’t kill me, I know all this thinking makes my brain hurt. LOL
Ok, Thanks Jim, I think I am gonna try to foil this bad boy, just need to pick up some glue to do so.
And didn’t ya know, thinking IS Hazardous to one’s health?!! I wish ya the best on your studies. Happy New Year to you & the family my friend
For some, thinking may indeed be hazardous to health…
…but not thinking is hazardous to life!
This is true[sigh]
Here’s an update om what I’ve decided to do…
So far I have 1 part foiled (left wing on the base) my first foil attempt and thought I’d show ya
Grante, it aint done but hey, at least I’m givin’ it a shot[:P] I see I have some practice to do yet
