    Default Fun with lifting up paint for a new texture

    I got bored, and was thinking of another way to paint. So naturally, I took the fun and destructive way :p. I painted a couple of layers (different colors) making sure that the upper layer was not dry and the lower one is dry. Taking some plastic piece to lift up the top layer but not the bottom (I used bubble wrap to create a faux grille ) lay it over the top of the paint and gently pull it off. I've found its neat for creating textured patterns, engravings, etc. I've found it to be very useful when creating something unique and creative.

    Here's the pics of an external HDD I painted using blue, silver, and clear coat spraypaints:





    This is the HDD atop my 360 for music, videos, pics, etc.

    WTF?

    Did you edit?

    When I posted, there was no pics.

    Perhaps I'm losing it.

    We have the same ext HDD. Check my worklog for what I did to mine if you haven't seen it already.
