Primer or No Primer? That is the question?

 

[Jango Wes]

PRIMER! Definately. Hit it with primer, then wetsand it with like 600-800 (I think that's the grit) grit wetsandpaper. Primer it again, then wetsand it again until it's baby-butt smooth(SEEKER's words!). The smoother the primer finish, the better results you will have, in my experience. I RNB-ed my gauntlets and helmet and Fett Girl did the same with her armor and helmet.

Rub and buff works for me.

Silver Leaf . . . .Make sure it is Silver Leaf . . .

I used some silver leaf on my resin gauntlet rocket, it looks awesome. Its so easy to use, and really makes it look like metal.

It's not finished in this photo, I've painted the tip and weathered it a bit more since then.

I cannot seem to find Rub and Buff anywhere. I've checked several Walmarts, Pep Boys, Lowes, and Home Depots. Is there somewhere online I can order it?

Edit: Nevermind, I found another thread with a link for it online.

 

[Jango Fett Jr]

You won't find it there, you should check some craft/hobby stores like Michael's.

Jo-Anne fabrics also has it I believe.

And Hobby Lobby!

What section of Jo Anns would I look in for it?

 

[Star Wars Chick]

They usually have a section that has gold leafing and silver leafing products. Just ask someone and I am sure they can show you.
