Very first try at this ... whaddya think?

Nobody in the powder world does a color fade it seems. I've been dying to try it for a long time, so I attacked my personal Plymouth sign that RPM sold awhile back with four candy translucent powders over a base of Super Chrome.

Due to crappy overcast weather yesterday, the pictures aren't that great color-wise. The second one is probably the most accurate -- the purple is close but still no real justice -- and you still can't really see all the metal flake.

Opinions? Please be honest. If the technique isn't worth pursuing and improving on, I'd like to know ahead of time. I think it's kinda cool but my opinion doesn't really count -- yours does. :-D

Please excuse my messy shop. I wanted an inside photo too.

If offering an opinion either way (if ya think it's ugly say so! I can take it lol), please also share how much you might be willing to pay for a job like that. I love doing one offs like this but really have no clue what a reasonable price would be on a custom wall hanging -- will it be worth all the work?

Hey, Jerry Garcia got $300 for a freakin tie. :-D

Thanks for your time and for looking!
