ok, i went out and bought a can of spraypaint tday from my local hardware store.. 10 bucks a can... quite expensive..

anyway, just a heads up and a quick request for tips on spraying(stuff like applying many thin coats etc) before i get stuck in and give it a go on my m50's.

 

yea i realised i should have bought a lighter shade of silver after i walked out of the store but oh well..

its called "bright chrome" by dulux, an aussie brand.

Cool, let us know how it goes.

 

As far as the light coats, theres not much to it. Just press the nozzle for a split second while doing a sweeping motion about 8" away from the surface (or whatever distance recommended on the can's instructions). Lighter coats are more forgiving than drippy heavy coats. Be sure to test on scrap pieces before doing the real deal.

Bump

 

Any updates? I'm thinking about doing this to my M50s as well. Hoping to see a finished version so I have an idea of what it'd look like.

worked out really well, used tape to mask off the main parts then covered it up with vaseline.

i'd recommend using vaseline as well, since its such a small piece of work.

i used about 3 or so light coats.
