Wicked mate - looks like you've solved the problem of the blue front brake now then fella - just paint yourself one

When do you start your own paint shop, and if you need anything else to test it on, I've got an MX seat clamp in badly polished silver that needs to be blue

Looks crakin' as ever mate

neiljonarcus · « **Reply #13 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:22 PM »

thats just a old lever i only painted one side a quick flash over

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #14 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:30 PM »

Forgiven then.
I have painted stuff in metallics before to try to recreate the original alloy finish, but it still looks painted to me. The nearest to original finish i have seen, is as mentioned abouve, glass paint. Its tranlucent, and if you use a semi gloss laquer over the top, its quite similar to the original finish. depends on the look your trying to achieve i suppose.

Looks Good to me

neiljonarcus · « **Reply #16 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:56 PM »

i am going to try that glass paint but i think if i dilute this CELLULOSE aerosol with CELLULOSE binder it will thin it down and make it more translucent . i think

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #17 on:** August 05, 2009, 01:09 PM »

I think your right. be interesting to see the results. I think the only problem with that may be that it might pool in the nicks and crannies.

neiljonarcus · « **Reply #18 on:** August 06, 2009, 12:27 PM »
