Preparation:
First of all, apply a thin layer of Mr. Metal Primer on the painting surface
of the grills. Let it completely air dry before color painting.
Three brushes were
enough for me in this fan grill painting project.
Make sure to prepare a super fine brush
Painting Materials:
- The paints for the fan grills.
I used Mr. Color as the paints which
are made in Japan are
not expensive, HK$10 for each bottle (less than 1 pound for each). If you cannot
find this brand, any other brand can be ok, they are simply the paints for
models. Some of the paints are significant in my project...
Apart from Gold, there is metallic super silver, metallic blue, metallic green,
Fluorescent yellow, white (vital and very useful) and
black.
Other options, metallic red and there is also a metallic yellow
(but it was out of stock, so
yellow was better than none), and copper
To prepare a bottle of thinner for the paint is
also highly
recommended.
Now that you know what you need let's move on
to what you do...
