New Kracked Skulls Scimitar (repainted)

**MrZhang** · 05-14-2008 08:07 PM

Last Saturday I ordered a Kracked Skulls Scimitar (44") and I just got it today! I masked it off and then I painted it with a simple black spray paint graphic.
I've got the pictures on my facebook, and its a public album so:

thats tight
did you already have the design cut out before you painted it
also how much did that cost?

clean lines, simple, which is nice. anyways have you put any clear on it yet? put some polycrylic (not sure if it bubbles on spray paint or not though...) to get some extra shine outta that and keep it safe from the elements, not to mention make it a bit more durable. i have a thick application my m1 and the thing is a beast. i have yet to scratch through it. or some regular rattle can clear coat will work, make sure its the same kind as the paint you used (i.e. enamel, satin finish, etc), not as durable as poly, but gets the job done cheap and quick.

Polycrylic works just fine over spray paint, no adverse reactions. Actually, sometimes I'll use a combo of poly and spray clear. Works great if you let everything cure for a good amount of time in between steps.

Nice job BTW MrZhang

I bought the deck off of the ks website, it was 78$ with shipping and discount.
All i did was cover the entire bottom in masking tape, and drew on my design with pencil and used a razor blade to cut it out, and then I painted, and ripped off the tape.
it took quite a while but I really liked the nice clean lines that came out of it.
