(Jacen) The End Justify the Means


« on: September 21, 2017, 03:16:00 AM »

So this is a picture of the saber I had ordered, the only thing I customized was the gold underlay, but I wanted to have the depressions in the grips gold. This is to difficult to use a spray paint with tape to block what I dont want paint. Does anyone have any alternatives, gold o rings? Or some crazy thing I dont even know about lol.

sounds like you may want to consider hand painting with some fine tip brushes.  I think the one to talk to is Isola here on the forum.  He did a wicked inverted Reaper by stripping off anodizing and hand painted in the circuitry lines......do a search and check it out.  PM him

I agree with digitalsithlord, hand painting would be the way to go. Acrylic model paint will work, but may chip with use.

I would talk with Drahcir. He does fair amount of meddling with color. He might be able to point you in the right direction.

I've had good success using brushes to paint inside the grooves.  I would recommend Testor brand Model Master gold paint, and use a brush slightly narrower than the groove.  Just lay the paint in thick and let the brush push it out to the edge of the groove while you rotate the hilt.

Example of what it looks like with a dark gray:
