Is this supposed to happen?
Damnit, I was almost done with my case painting project when this happend:
http://toxicsoup.tripod.com/pictures...troubles01.txt http://toxicsoup.tripod.com/pictures...troubles02.txt I started putting on the clear coat and it started doing this. Anybody know if this is supposed to happen?? Thanks in advance |
What Kind of paint did you use?Is that a Hammmared Black paint and did you use acrylic or enamel clear coat?
|
Yeah, it's rust-oleum hammered and i used krylon acrylic clear coat. I guess this is a bad combo eh?
Is there any way i could just sand it down, paint it with the hammered paint, then use the rubbing compound on it? Totally keeping out the clear coat. |
I used the same on mine got the same results.I stripped it applied several coats of the hammered black and sanding inbetween each coat with a sanding block and 1500 grit turned out great!
|
You don't really need to sand hammerlack (hammerite or whatever you want to call it). Just put on a thick layer and use a brush (not a roller).
Also if memory serves you can't reliably paint anything over a layer of that stuff (except the same kind of paint). |
Well, i decided to just leave it the way it was, it looked fine anyhow. Here are a couple pics of the finished product.

personally I think it looks awesome, great mistake :D
|
Nice poster! :)
er... nice case. ;) If you could get the whole case to wrinkle like that, it might look good. Certain paints are designed to do that for a texture. |
Cambridge Soundworks, oh yeah :)
|
who's that on the poster ;p
pretty cool effect though nonetheless ;p |
schaweet toxic! i really like the way you did the window cut/CC mount too; the light definately arrives at the right angles. ooh, ahh! i love subtle design ideas like that. very creative.
