I got some Rustoleum "Forged Hammered" spray paint in Antique Pewter, with an accent color of a chalk texture blue. Spent some time today doing testing on spare sintra pieces I have. Really pleased with the look- it looks very metallic, and the chalk texture in the blue stripes looks dusty and somewhat faded already, so weathering should work well. The big thing I found is that I have to do a base coat with the metallic paint, then the accent color over it. Otherwise the thinner blue paint looks sunken in and flat.
Couple sample shots:
And here's a shot where I applied the chalk blue right onto the white sintra- really looks different and not good at all:
I then rushed to do a quick paint test on my bracers, which was a mistake as now I need to sand a lot off as the surface wasn't smooth enough before I painted and the imperfections really stand out. Blah- hoping I can fix it and don't have to start over there.
