brian ranger619 Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Hay guys I was reading on the other post about using a make up brush and 35mm canisters for two toning your jigs. well here's a little trick I learned from T/A I went out and bought a small 1 cup fine mesh strainer, I have a bunch now I took the handle and bent it into a U shape, I add about a 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of my second color I want to use then lightly tap the handle a couple of times. this will get you a nice even coat. be sure and test first..... I hope this might help some of you out. it really works great when you get the hang of it. thats my tip for the day!! see ya!! brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedHed Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Brian Still waiting?.. Been messing around with Columbia Coating?s Illusion paint. WOW ? good stuff, you might be interested in trying some. I got the sample kit. They say on the web site that it works on all colors ? don?t know about that. Works great on their mirror black with holographic glitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musky_man Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Brian, Another trick to two-tone jigs and blades - and it is simple and works well -- is to use a women's make-up brush. Get one that is about 1/2 inch wide and 1/8 inch thick. Once the first coat is applied. reheat the jig/blade, dip the tips of the make-up brush in the PP and then gently tap the brush over the jig/blade. The paint falls off in a cloud-like fashiion (assuming you have not over-loaded the brush) and gives a real nice finish. I have been doing that for a few years now and it works well. The most common mistake is over-loading the brush with PP. It take a few time to get the hang of it, but try it on some garbage stuff and you will see that it works well.
