For the life of me I cannot figure out some of these designs are done and what technique is used. Any help or insight would be appreciated from one fellow painter to another. I will post a few designs I am wondering about. 
For the sake of discussion, I'll pick the bottom image to explain the order in which the layers were applied. First they place a decal on a surface that has been thoroughly cleaned and prepped. With the decal on the cup, next they spray the base color, which is pink on this cup. They cure the pink layer while leaving the decal on there. Next they spray a black coat onto the cup. Next take a scotch bright pad and lightly scuff around the decal in a similar pattern to the one in the cup. This creates a distressed look. Next cure the black layer. The last step is the "splatter" look. I would use a toothbrush with a little black on it and lightly run your fingers across the bristles to make the splatter effect. Cure the last layer. After the cup has been cured you can remove the decal. If you applied the decal correctly you should have a nice clean pattern underneath the decal and you should see the original finish of the cup. I hope this makes sense and helps. |

This will more than likely be detested by the AR15.com population... But we are playing with some new combos for chameleon jobs.
This one is a Green, Gold, brown/tan combo.

They did an incredible job. I love that! |

Just finished this yesterday - hoping to get to try it out tomorrow. Was sort of a "dream Glock 17" project for me.
Slide is Tungsten Cerakote (by Jagerwerks in Michigan), frame is Titanium Cerakote (by X-Werks in AZ). Vickers slide stop is Cerakote Graphite Black. Sights are Dawson, trigger by Overwatch Precision, Taran Tactical basepad, and most other parts are Zev or OEM Glock. 
The 17 with it's "big brother" in Cerakote Graphite Black

I've done MANY different patterns and colors and have yet to have one show it's any softer or weaker than normal. |
