I couldn't find where to post this question in the forum, I apologize if this is the wrong spot. It just seems to be where most people talk about there art work.
What kind of paints are you guys using to finish your art work. Specifically like the antique bronze looking paints. And where can I get them? Any help is appreciated. I have been doing automotive painting for nearly 20 years, but this is a new game for me.
Thanks for your help,
Scott

Re: What paints do you use?
Scott,
I am an custom automotive/Motorcycle painter, and I have been airbrushing alot of my stuff. I have had my paint supply place mix up some custom "rusted/antique" look. I don't know if that is what you are looking for, but I hope it will help.I know ALOT of people like to Powdercaot stuff, I dont like to powdercoat as much, cause you have NO control like liquid paint. AutoAir airbrush paints might work for you aswell.
I am a DIE HARD PPG fan myself.
Have a GREAT holiday!

I use alot of Rustoleums "Hammered" line of paint. It's very durable. That and the patinas from Sculpt Nouveau.
I think I'm the oldest 10 year old boy on the forum...

Re: What paints do you use?
For detailed art I do airbrush work. For bigger signs and fence I use a black rust paint with the option of going 2 part epoxy paint.
For a golden rust I dump it in hydrochloric acid and when it has a light rust coat , dry and hit it with clearcoat.
