brentmason Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks for the comments, it's a fairly transparent paint job, it was a ghost ayu originally, I removed the skin on both head and tail sections, and put reflective tape on both but couldn't get it to show up in the picture, looks better in the sunlight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourxquad1 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 What kind of paint did you use on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentmason Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Mostly createx, after I was done painting I coated it with a couple of light coats of clear laquer, out of a spray can. It seems like it'll be fairly durable and will allow skin to flex. I've removed the skin a time or 2 and no problems. It kinda seems like the laquer helped the paint bond to the rubber, I've rubbed it pretty aggressively with my hands and it hasn't shown any signs of wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
