Hello all, I have decided to mod my Aeon v4. I am going to paint it the same colours as the steampunk mask I am working on http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=38677.0and add some leather to the hilt as well.  I plan to spraypaint the aged copper colour and use a paintbrush to add the pure gold colour. I think black leather will look good with those colour combinations. I am assuming I have to lightly the sand the area I want to glue the leather to? Let me know what you think? |

I think it will be beautiful. Sand everywhere that is getting painted or glued.

It's going to look really cool I'm sure. Love how you displayed what the parts will look like.

A quick update on my sabers progress. I have begun the painting phase of the customization of my Aeon. I sanded the saber and used masking tape to cover the parts I didn't want to be painted.   I used Aged Copper spray paint with primer to save time.    I am happy with the results so far. I will have to touch up some of the parts I painted with a brush. I will start painting the gold colour in a couple of days. Let me know what you think so far. |

Looking good, how do you like the aged Copper color? Does it give it that aged look or will you have to still age it a bit on your own?

Copper color looks to be a good choice there

I really like the aged copper colour as it is now, so I probably won't do any extra aging but you never know. Copper color looks to be a good choice there
I love it Therion, will have to see how the gold looks with the copper. I love the Aeon V4! Really looking forward to seeing your project completed!
Looking good, can't wait to see the final product.
Thanks guys! |

I've finally painted the gold sections of the saber to various degrees of success. I might have to touch up some the sections.    Thoughts on the colour combination? |

Initial impression is that I like the color combinations, but try taking a couple of pictures further back. The super close-up only highlights the flaws in the paint. What I've found on mine is that when you pull back some those become invisible and you can better see the overall product. You can always touch up the paint for closer examination after-the-fact.

The bronze and gold really flow well with the red blade, it looks great especially with the red oozing through the emitter window, Gedda. As far as touch up goes, if you're not as close up while painting, the air bubbles won't result due to the nozzle being too close and flinging out excess air. This should keep having air bubbles at the minimum. I really love how your Aeon is coming out, that aged bronze is a beautiful color indeed. Point for you!

Snap a shot of the color combo from a distance, that close is not the best. Also, if you are not using painters tape and doing a light sanding before painting you should this will help smooth out the finish and help it stick.
