One of the birdbath stands is finished and ready for delivery. The semigloss paint helps bring out the backtwisting to the square steel, but should detract from the rhubarb leaf 'bath'. I think it came out nearly as good as powdercoating, but powdercoating adds a softness to the pieces because of the baked on layer.
Those red panels are 'testers' for a sign idea for a new brewery coming online. I followed an idea in one of my striping books about texturing aluminum and clearing over it with candy paint. I bought some Testors model paint in candy red and sprayed it over the freshly ground aluminum panels I had laying around. The texturing is pretty cool. I'll be adding some white pinstripe designs to this soon.
Striped a panel the other day with polar white, have one in gold too, but no pictures yet. The second birdbath is done too, and delivered.
