Default Re: A door

Bray, Ok now I got ya. This may be a work in progeress. Im thinking about just rubbing some metalic gold on the black metal in the glass to give it kind of a gold patina look, kinda like a bronze effect. DOnt know if Ill ever do another one they are hard to wrestle around, after struggling for a half hour my wife figured out the new door hinges I bought were wrong (2 male hinges) but we finally got it installed today. Another tip, if you ever do one put down a tack coat of spar varnish first. Even stained, the wood sucks up the 1Shot. I had to go over the lines about three times! Also pinstriping metallic gold over wood grain is a whole 'nother ball game form striping sheet metal, but it was fun and now I have a 1of a kind door. AL
