Message: <blockquote data-quote="jangobobango" data-source="post: 531303" data-attributes="member: 15300">So, big setback. I tried the Minwax polycrylic clear coat on the rub n buff, and it looked fine and no more silver rubbing off.[ATTACH=full]237593[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]237594[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]237595[/ATTACH]However, with the slightest scratch the clear coat would come off. This would not do for me. And then I tested some Rust-Oleum bright coat metallic finish on some scrap pieces, and it looked even shinier than the rub n buffed pieces.[ATTACH=full]237598[/ATTACH]The cod loop is sprayed with rust oleum in this pic.[ATTACH=full]237596[/ATTACH]So I decided to entirely redo the rub n buffed armor pieces. At this point I had already clear coated the gauntlets too, so I had to sand through that as well. Annoying, but nessecary.[ATTACH=full]237597[/ATTACH]On a positive note, I finished putting the rangefinder together. I painted the little view screen black and used the original rubies screws to put it back together. The stalk, and gauntlet greeblies use rust-oleum custom premium chrome paint, and is a bit duller compared to rust oleum bright coat metallic finish but I think the contrast between silvers might be more visually interesting (translation: I don’t feel like spraying them again).

My heat shaping job isn’t super smooth but not a huge deal.[ATTACH=full]237602[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]237603[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
