Title: Quick painting question.
Post by: dimmu--borgir on February 28, 2012, 11:56:57 AM

Edit: I guess this would be in the artwork forum. Sorry.

Ok, bought a Centipede cabaret. Thinking about painting/rolling it's sides white or black and buy sideart stickers.

1. What kind of paint should I use? Oil based or water based? I guess I want the same type as the UR Centipede. Glossy?

2. Personal opinions if I should paint black and use the white sideart or paint white with white sideart?
OR, the same above but whith black sideart?

Thanks.

primer first, then paint, then sideart - always sand in between. and of course i would use white sideart and white paint!

The uprights are not painted, the sides are fully covered by the side art vinyls.

Id go black and use semi-gloss. Glossy shows EVERYTHING and is way too shiny.
