Ciao a tutti!
E dopo il punto croce e i gioielli tocca al decoupage, anzi in questo caso direi bricolage....
con l'acquisto della nuova casa infatti ho trovato un paio di lampadari ai quali vorrei dare nuova vita (buttarli mi dispiaceva). Il model is the classic gold plated chandelier with 3 arms. The idea is to repaint it and give it a beautiful red color!
is the material that you need:
- EPOX 3224 GRAY PRIMER 83, which will be diluted equally with;
- 3227 CURING AGENT FOR EPOXY PRIMER 3224.
- sandpaper;
- BRUSH;
- NITRO THINNER 416 (for cleaning the brush ).... better known as the 'fog!;
- Red enamel (spray).
The steps are 3 or 4:
1. first thing to do is to thoroughly clean the surface with a degreaser and then maybe move the sandpaper to prepare it for color and maybe to remove some rust over time it is created! I for convenience I totally disassembled the chandelier to be sure to arrive at all points. For sanding I used a medium grit paper and then a p150.
2. second thing to do, after cleaning the surface of the dust created co
n sandpaper, is to go with a brush 'gripping (I used the primer with its thinner) and is painted in a gray that will serve as a basis to move the colored enamel! I'm letting it dry 24 hours. After this time I will give back a quick pass with very fine sandpaper to remove any unevenness or imperfections. 3. when the base will be perfectly dried gray spend the painting itself, for this step I use the brush but not the can (I recommend it because you do not see the brush marks) in this case, let dry overnight. To be a good result I advise you to spend more coats of enamel and then depending on the color of your choice and its effect leaving, you can also decide to pass a lacquer that makes it shiny (and this would be the fourth lap ) or if the paint was already leave it shiny.
to make it more fun to add some outstanding ... but what we will see him at another time!
soon put the photos of the work as I have already said and I hope you can appreciate, partly because non c'รจ maggior soddisfazione di ricevere i complimenti dopo averlo terminato!
ciao a prestooooooooooo!
