Title: faux finish
Post by: Out Fishing on January 03, 2010, 01:00:44 PM
say gents!! while messing in my shop working on a small popper ( painting it) i happend to screw up on my top coat so instead of starting over i started ragging off the paint ..now im creating an effect  since the rag has somewhat wide fibers. looks great with pearlized....im also blending 3 differant colors  you can eather sponge on, or off the paint ...but im keeping the belly white pearlized.....im guessing when i applie my 2 part epoxy finish with flakes  it should show some depth..........and marble effect.......ah! the fish wont care

tight lines    handyman!

put a white base coat down, let it dry then hit it with a dark color...while it's nice and wet hit it with a piece of rag or foil...mix em all up and you got marble...

I did that last year on a pencil.  Looks amazing!  Very "Fisherman" catchy!  Dunno about the fish...haven't had the gutz to fish it.  Too purrrrty!

Sorry for the poor quality.  Had to use the camera phone.  MUCH better in person!
