[QUOTE="pidjones, post: 97067, member: 3026"] Quite pleased with my frame color: [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC07112.JPG"]7059._xfImport[/ATTACH] 4:1 Jet Black to Champagne Gold Metallic Duplicolor Paint Shop lacquer over etching, sealing, and sandable primer. The sun catches the flakes in the gold nicely. Hope it looks even better after clear coating (may be a week or two before I can do that, though - another nice thing about lacquer - over-paint any time! I shot it on with a Harbor Freight 4 oz.
