Adding the Emerald Touch

Been too long since I posted and now I am SO far behind posting about all my meanderings!

Old information now, but worth sharing regardless.

I covered the black framed Blast Sunglasses in my last post but here is a reminder:

To start painting I had to track down the suggest paint that my friend Becca said to use. Testors Green Metal Flake model paint. It took some looking but I found it at Stephen Licence in downtown Belleville...a nice gem of a place with LOTS of interesting craft supplies!


To start the procedure I needed to pop the lenses and remove the foam backing on the brow plate. When that was down I began the task of doing multiple coats of paint to the frames.








Oddly the iPhone picked up some strange blue hues!

And the final pictures.





Not 100% perfect, but it turned out okay. I wish in hindsight that I grabbed a couple pairs to have a second chance if I messed up, but overall I think they turned out alright and its off to the other found parts!

Will try and give more updates sooner!
