Members Bryan316 Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 Okay. TERRIBLE IDEA. Ready? Shoot two colors, from opposite directions, at once, on the same drops. For example, you shot black against the bottoms of the drops, right? How about shooting, say, RED from the top? Or bright yellow? So each drop has two colors. And yes, the idea to go all-chrome with the hardware was the BEST decision for finishing the job. All that chrome looks so damn good. I'm glad that once you picked a color scheme, you went 100% with every detail! It's something people don't think about, but victory comes from the details! m/ m/ m/ m/ out of a possible 4. ON-STAGE PICS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ON-STAGE PICS!!!! thanks man, appreciate the nice comments...i won't be painting this effect again anytime soon, but you have an idea for sure. i think it might kinda take away from the 3-D effect as the black paint adds a shadow so to speak.no on stage pics until I can put my band back together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katillac Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 GREAT work, Noobie! I was away for a few weeks and missed all the fun.If the Dean folks do put out one similar to yours, I can only imagine the price for the added paint work.I'm really glad you decided to stay with the chrome after all. Everything just falls together. Well, except for the switch tip Do you have another project in the works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alex9152 Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 I tried this multiple drop layer idea, and it did not work. It just takes away from the initial layer's ability to stand out. It could have been the color combo I used though. I tried using the exact opposite of GuitarNoobie and did silver on black background with the water drop effect. It came out cool, but not nearly as nice as the V!!! Looks like a printed photo of the moon's surface, very boutique. Very cool but nowhere like the waterdrop V. Drops on drops would just look unrealistic like what I quoted. Now if you combined that with the multicolor drops...nah, you'd just get a blur of dull drops and the results would be nauseating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BG76 Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 i will very lightly wet sand it before coating with Deft Nitro Clear... on the piece of wood above, i sprayed it with a light coat of poly and the 3-D effect really took.... Don't spray nitro over your enamel paint (he says to use enamel paint in the video). It will lift the paint and ruin your work. Make sure your paint and clear are compatible.
