Hi , folks
Here are some pics showing how I put on the first layer of the metal flake finish , that I mentioned in my previous post here .
Before this I have primed the lures as usual and sprayed on a silver base color , so it seems , that already with the first process a good coverage has been achieved , but I am sure , that I might have to apply a second layer
.
When the epoxy coat , on which I sprinkled the metal flakes , has dried after one day , I'd shake off all loose glitter particles , so some gaps might still show up , and I'd have to repeat .
After I'd put on some more coats of epoxy to render the surface more smooth , so that I can spray on some contrasting colors on the belly .
I might as well put on metal flakes again , also in different colors .
I guess , I'm gonna do this on the backs of the lures , and only spray the bellies
!
To sprinkle on the flakes , I put a slightly kinked clean piece of paper underneath to gather all particles falling aside , the kink acts like a kind of funnel to pour the flakes back into their container
.
