    Default Tweaking disco colors


    Since you guys like that crinkle coat so much I thought I'd share something else to tinker with and it's much easier than crinkle coating.

    I'm sure some know thus already but you can take any disco color for a base coat and overcoat it with a candy or any translucent color to tweak it a little..

    The first is a disco copper base with root beer top coat. The second is disco gold base and watermelon pepper top coat. The third is a tweak also but I done forgot the recipe, oops

    Hmm, never thought about doing that. Actually I’m not sure if I even have any candy colors. Thanks for sharing.

    Yup good stuff! I like adding .008 silver holographic flake to my discos. Gives it an extra twinkle.

    I do that also. Then seal it with clear powder coat to make it shine

    They don't necessarily have to be candy colors. They just can't be a heavy color like your neons that coat up heavy

    Kenny Thompson is where I learned this. I'm not smart enough to have figured it out on my own so I better give him the credit for showing me how to do it

    Really nice jigs, second one almost looks like Crinkle paint. I use a lot of candy colors in my Crinkle paint, seems like they run more during the bake process.
