Plate Painting Question

[DGPEAKE@aol.com]

If you want the quick and easy way, Krylon gold spray works good.  For a
better job, I clean the plate then check for dings and fill with Bondo.  Then
spray primer surfaser, 1-2 coats.  Sand down to 600 grit.

Mix gold bronzing powder,  (a little copper to darken if you wish), with
clear laquer, spray 2-3 coats.  Then spray several coats of  clear so the
plate will have a deep looking finish.

After you have the finish you want, then do the art work.  I use a Sanford
ultra sharp pen.  (If you made notes, you can to what was on the original
finish).  Do not spray any more clear, because it will smeer the art work.
