Sloory Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Paint it on kinda thick mate, that way if you ever want to change colour it should peel off in big sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankenstrat Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 I got half a litre of black acrylic that I'll put on think then apply the cling wrap when wet and remove then put a dark grey on when dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankenstrat Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 The marbling effect worked, I wasn't sure as I've only done it on metal before.... It's a bit had to see due to glare but the not painted gaps are now painted a dark grey, a slight contrast to the black... Was impossible to photograph but should be easier to get a pic when filled with water and a good light is on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
