Has anyone powdercoated a shield? Got some colors we like just having some issues with the masking.

the difference in price between the sled and the aluminum blank works out to roughly 190.00 usd. That being said there is much more work you have to do to the sled (stripping paint, cutting edges, making the steel look like spun aluminum), then there is the cost to actually alter the sled, so ultimately it depends on your cash situation. The sled is thin but not so thin where it becomes floppy.Hello everyone, I'm new here and still learning how to go around.
I'm a big fan of captain america as well, and I want to build my own shield too. My only doubt is what to choose, I have seen lots of guys using that Flexible Flyer Classic Steel Saucer, and come out with nice shields.
* how thick and flexible that is? or definitely the spun aluminum is the best call? expensive though.
* what measures it's more adequate for the spun aluminum ( inner circle and stripes )?
* have anyone found where to get the spun aluminum smaller that 26"?
I found this guy TheCap here, nice shield work Anyone making the Captain America Shield Replica (Movie Version)? - Page 10
I tried to contact him on this site, but no success, his posts are all deleted. It seems he left. Anybody knows where he send his shield to be painted? and what kind of paint was used ? It seems metallic, or its the same paint eveyone are painting theirs shield replica from the movie?
Thanks a lot all
nice that's actually a great price!I got my blank from a guy in the UK named Angel. He's on the Facebook "heroes for hire, no... costumes for sale" group. Had a great price on them about a month ago. Got three shipped to TN from London for right at $125 each. I think his prices have went up a little but for a budget option it works for me. The grooves are pressed in vs cut
