My painted shield plate

Here is my painted plate. I still need to wet sand, buff, and shoot a layer of clear coat over it but you get the idea.

Looks good, want to see the final results though.

Wish there were custom lids for these that were painted and sold as accessories, but the shield is just not popular enough I guess.

Thank you very much. The black is krylon fusion which is supposed to bond to just about anything. The green is also krylon but its flourescent instead of the fusion. Heres a pic of it after i finished wetsanding it today. Its as smooth as glass to the touch but once i shoot a layer of clear coat itll really shine then. In one spot i sanded a bit to much and the metal came through and then a lightbulb went off. I decided to give it a worn look with bits of black and metal showing through. I might leave it as is tho i kind of like the dullness.

I got bored on Friday and decided to finish it up I wet sanded it shot a layer of clear coat wet sanded it again and then shot a final coat of clear. I do think i like the glossy look better. Plus i baked the clear coat which makes it a bit tougher.
