SAND DEVIL Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 John, Did you do a coat of silver or another color and then black for that final weather photo? Just us sandpaper and scratch off some black in the high points? I love that weathering. It's the final part on my pack build and I would like to get that same type look. Awesome as always. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 The weathering on that radio is actually dry rubbed. The radio itself was painted with Krylon Fusion Flat Black. Then I use silver spray paint and a rag. Spray some on the rag (not too much) and slightly hit all the high spots on the radio. Before each area dries completely, use a clean rag to rub the silver and work it in a bit, blending it with the black. You might want to do it with some siver acrylic paint instead. That way if you mess up or don't like it, you can wash it off. I have gotten pretty good at it, so I just use the spray paint method.

whiteee Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I know I could post my own thread on this but could do with a couple of sizes! Mushroom caps - diameter? largest measurement across and similarly, what measurement are the aluminium bottles (diameter) cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
