First try at anodizing a complete gun

[jetenginekyle]

Another ano I did on a paintgun I put together for a buddy. I call this one solar flare. Interested in making an anodizing portfolio here on mcb but I am unaware if or where the place to do so would be.

I'd think here in the custom section would be fine. If you start taking customers and the majority of your work is for clients you can always ask a mod to move the thread to the dealer section.

Good idea. Thanks!

OP: "Hey guys, here's my first attempt at painting, it's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with it, what do you think?"

You could really improve on amount of cleavage....

Great work on those and good choices on colors.

Always wondered how splash Anne’s were masked off. How do acid wash’s work? Do a base color then top color, finish off by splashing acid on it to wash off some top color?

[OpusX]

Base color. Then mask (nail polish or rubber cement) wash in bleach to remove non mask color, repeat. Use a sponge with bleach for "wash" effects.

70s psychedelic spyder?

[BrickHaus]

That's amazing. You gonna build a running marker out of this, or are you just anodizing random aluminum you have on hand?

[KMDPB]

Just a practice piece no plans to do anything with it

[jetenginekyle]

70s psychedelic spyder?

How did you do that? Looks great!
