Finally, all the armor is (mostly) squared away!
I primed the Worbla with two coats of Titebond wood glue, which gives it a nice smooth surface with no sanding; wood glue is sort of self-leveling, so it spreads out super smooth with no brushstrokes.
After that dried today, I threw on a coat of Rustoleum's hammered finish spray paint. I was looking for a pewter or bronze, but settled on this "chestnut."

It looked great until, what the hell, the color changed!

Anybody use hammered paint and have this happen to them? I rattled the can more than enough, but apparently the results beg to differ! It'll work out fine, but I'm still a little annoyed. Hmm... I would like to use Volpin's technique of layering sponged-on metallic paint with weathering, which will hopefully brighten the darker pieces up.
Why yes I have. Check the manufacture date on your can's. If they aren't the same then there is your problem. I didn't even know they had that the paint guy at the Home Depot had to show me.
