Painting results from the other night

[Fatman]

Finally sorted the pans out and here's what came out - I'm really liking the Ruby Red Slipper

The Pearl came out nice but when it's by itself I think some glitter will make it look better = for a base coat where you'll tap other colors over the top it's gonna be great

The white with glitter in it, for some reason the glitter really didn't show through very well, so I took clear and put extra glitter in it and recoated the in-line spinner bodies I as trying to match ave them another dip and they're in the oven curing

The color that really disappointed me was the Baby Bass Green!!! What came out cured doesnt even match the picture on Component Systems site - They're supposed to be speckled and lighter green color. I sent them an email and they asked for pictues

Well I got my answer back from CS that Baby Bass color I posted is what it's gonna be not the real speckled one!!! I'll find a way to mix it for some kind of custom color. But if your looking at the CS site the baby bass is not the correct color and they will be updating it.

FM - I have wanted to check out the Baby Bass and Dragonfly color too. Hard to tell in the pic of yours painted but is there flake or glitter added in? The other CS colors i have that are pre-mixed with glitter (watermelon flake, watermelon pepper, copperhead, junebug, etc.) have alot of clear already added in and look 10X BETTER if you put a pearl or white basecoat first and then a light coat of the color on top. Try it once and let us know if it shows any better/brighter.... maybe on a test throw away piece.

I agree with you. That green with the right colors tied to it will be a good jig.

Nice paint work Fatman

Attica - no flake or glitter at ALL in the Baby Bass !!!!!!!! Dragonfly have no idea don't have that one yet. The copperhead is good I've tried that out already from the stuff I got from Hunter. Even with a base coat - the Baby Bass is still just green except a bit lighter, kinda looks a little darker than the light olive I mixed up before.

I'll find something to mix it with, I'll go back through the Paint receipe sticky.
