Help....

[Baldy]

I have another mini cone blank in red acrylic like this one : Cones

What colour should I paint the inside of blank.. red white?? I really want it to pop and look as good as possible as for wife's birthday.. if she really likes it I will be allowed out to shed more..

 

[Grump]

Tricky question for me but I think I would go with white primer to make the red and cone show nice.
turn it down very carefully with a carbide tool, just before the finish sling a load of ultra thin CA on it (use some acetone to thin it if you don't got ultra thin)
Turn to finish and work through the grades of scratch util you find perfection.
Then throw it in the bin and take her out for a dinner as a birthday gift

Me personally Graeme would go black, this is based on the colours i see in your last pen ..

 

[Doug]

Whilst loving Grump's answer I'd just be swayed by Jim's if I was you Graeme

 

[Dalboy]

I tend to go for black as well

 

[Grump]

Black wasn't on the list of options.
RED OR WHITE INIT?

Whassamata with you lot?

 

[Penpal]

Do one in black and one in white choices work.

Me, I'd go for pink just because.

Thanks all Black it is. . All sprayed just got to be patient and wait for it to dry.. not one of my virtues..

 

[Penpal]

Might is right mate.

Thanks Peter. . Never realised made so much difference. Will soon be able to compare brass against black.. was hoping paint would have been dry last night but no.. glue up this morning and when the kids go to bed tonight I will make the attempt..
