Things wot I still have to do:
I'm planning on putting a light coating of sparkly clear over the top, but masking off the text so that stays flat black.
The frame colour has turned out whiter than I perhaps intended, was hoping for more of a grey hue, but its come out pretty much white. This is mainly because I used white spray paint - go figure. Anyway, still like it.
Once the sparkle has gone on I'll peel off the mask on the text and put as much clear on as I have in the bottle.
My main issue is a lack of time when it's not dark. Might be away all weekend, which is annoying as I really wanted the frame finished by Sunday night, allowing me to finally get it built.
Maybe I'll wake up early, stick the sparkle coat on that really needs some day light so I can see where it's gone, and then do the rest of the clear at night. Maybe I'll wake up really early and do it all before breakfast. Probably won't though.
