Hi jrok,
All the paint used was from spray cans, I didn’t use an airbrush.
The silver is Halfords Aluminium, with a gloss lacquer finish. The black is Simoniz Tough Black satin.
I didn’t use anything on top of the Simoniz paint, as it’s a tough, chip resistant paint with a very nice finish.
I don’t know how many hours I spent on this, but it was worth the extra effort with the metal bits and LED’s, I’m very pleased at how it turned out.
I’ve mounted the lawgiver on the base of the display case. I’ve stuck a thin sheet of brass on the base rather than paint it. The wedge is painted Rover Cashmere Gold with a gloss lacquer, which I think is a close match to the brass.
I originally had the badge mounted at about a 20 degree angle, but it was shadowed by the gun.
It’s now almost flat, just sloping downwards slightly.
I’ve just got to clean this up and paint it with the Rover Gold and the project is finished.
