Nice blade.. I do the same thing with the flashabou in the skirt. Works like a charm . I'll post a pic of my creations after work.

Thanks guys!! It is a good thing this is just a hobby, if I tried to make a living doing this, I would average about $0.07 an hour. I use powder paint for most and airbrush the scales on the back. Unfortunately, you can not see the sparkle. I use Almost Chrome powder for a base, add belly color, and then iridescent emerald. You wouldn't believe how life like it looks in the water. Fish love it!

Sorry
I don't know that will link. never done that here.

It is a little different than other powders. It takes less temp and more time or cracking will happen. I think what happens is the top coat cures faster than the base, which like all automotive paint, will crack.
I really like the iridescent colors, the translucent colors don't thrill me to much. They have a good selection of colors that other powders don't offer. Hope this helps and if you have problems with cracking, shoot me an e-mail and I will do my best to help.
