Instead of doing the dry brushing at the end, is it possible to just scuff it with a fine steel wool or scotchbrite to remove the upper layer to expose the copper and leave the blue/green in the crevices?
If you build up several layers of the B coating, sometimes you can get away with that if you use a scotch brite pad. The best way to do that is to use the "C" Metal Coating. The "C" coating has has a hardener that cures it once it dries and it may be sanded and polished. The C coating gives a look that is very close to "cold-cast" metal once finished. Time permitting I'll be posting a video on that soon.
@@brickintheyard Ok, thank you and looking forward to the upcoming video. I have one more question, I won't be having this problem with my sculptures but since I too work with motorcycles and cars specially it might have more uses on motorcycles. Can the metal coating withstand road abuse? Scratches, chips and heat...like the frame for example.
That's something you would just need to test to see how it holds up under that specific condition. The guy that invented this stuff has it all over his house and it it is still holding strong after over 20 years!
Thanks a bunch. It’s good to see different finishes
Good video Mitch, always learn something new.
That looks great. I thought it was a George Lucas bust for a bit there. The sprayed finish vs the brushed finish is interesting.
