Drakegunner Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Poured some shiny new lead jigs and I was wondering if I used clear powder paint, If it would keep the metal from oxidizing or should I plan on using a chrome under coat?

Basseducer Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 That should work as long as you are blocking the air from getting to it. You can even mix in a little colored paint to get a candy effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakegunner Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 That's what I was thinking. Can I mix regular opaque color to clear to get candy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 In small amounts it will tint the clear, but it will not be a true candy. I make a brown purple flake that uses 1 part brown and 4 parts clear and lots of flake. Brown is such a hard color to put flake into and still have it show especially purple because they are so similar. This mix really thins out the brown and lets the flake show through. However if you wand a darker brown you have to put on several coats. I spray my powder so it is easier to put on a couple very thin coats.

Drakegunner Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Any of you guys have any experience with adding pearls to paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 You can add any color to white pearl and make a pearl of that color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakegunner Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I was thinking about the pearl additives that you see car painters adding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
