Tryin out New stuff : embossing powder

21 October 2012 - 05:50 PM

So, im tryin out something new guys.....

one of the guys here, ( i forgot who, and im sorry) had a post where he used embossing powder as flockin material for carpets. so i went to micheals and got a few colors of it, its not expensive, $3.50. i figured i would try it out tonight, and i gotta say it works great!

heres a couple shots of what i did.....

i grabbed my spray adhesive, and the embossing powder

I shot the interior panel in a color thats close....in this case duplicolor desert sand

i taped off the rear section, and shot it with some spray adhesive, and sprinkled on the embossing powder.......here is the result!

i think it came out really nice, and its very thin so it doesnt hide any detail!  ill be using this stuff from now on, and it comes in a ton of different colors!

hope this helps ya out guys, and thanks to the member who posted it in his thread........im sorry i cant remember your name, im so bad with names!  LOL

cheers

Modifying Wire Wheels. (foolin around)

04 October 2012 - 04:27 PM

ok guys, i was diggin through my wheel stash, and i came across these wheels......as is, i really didnt like them, they arent very nice at all.....

Posted Image

i trimmed up the outer edges, and i thought, "i could make these look better"......ive been wanting some decent wire wheels for a future project, so i grabbed my grinder, and some files and here is what i ended up with.

so much better without all that nasty plastic filling in those spokes!! it took me about 30 minutes to do this one wheel, they end up being pretty delicate....i still have to clean them up a little more, but im really liking them now.....

thanks for lookin!
cheers
