First off don’t EVER feel sorry for asking questions!! We are all here to create, and we can’t create with out learning, how does one learn? Asking questions
Don’t ever feel like your bothering me! I may take a little longer to reply now, but I’ll always try and point you in the right direction
Please feel free to ask any questions you like, if I can’t answer them, the pros will
As for the paint, dude that sucks!! I’ve never heard such a thing... do you have a air brush? If you paint a lot and want a matte finish you could always buy a airbrush and use tamiya paints
With what happened to your rpk... I now see why your paranoid about the paint falling off..
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, prep is everything.. along with protection! Always use protection!!
And what I mean by protection is a clear coat
Cleaning the piece your going to paint is the ticket..
Like TrooperTrent’s said, clean it with some rubbing alcohol, and wear gloves!! If you clean it, then handle it your only putting oils from yours hands back on the saber.. defeating the whole process
I’m not bull****ting anyone, I can’t testify myself because all my Props sit on a shelf. But my buddy ethan uses his every day... he hasn’t lost a single chip.
When I was working on trents, that thing was handled a lot as well.
When you have a good clean primed surface, use the right paints and sealers, nothing will happen to it
Hell my starkiller v2 Gen1 has seen more action then anything else, and it still has all its chips still. And that thing has been all over the place
As for painting the ring section I tape them off.
When I’m done spraying I then rub a popsicle stick over the edge to roughen the edge of the paint. So it doesn’t look so sharp, and more real
If u have any questions please feel free to ask.
Last I knew rustoleum was an enamel paint?
