(its Australia Day here). I finished the carving, then basecoated it in silver spraypaint. The silver gives the green a uniform base coat, and also brightens up the final colour. Then I overlayed that with a green metallic. Then I painted on all the black, except for the bits that I wanted green. It came out looking a little like this: Actually, it looks better in real life. The green is more of an irredescent jade green. And the black is more black. I will get some proper pics of it and the little guy when the little guy has had another few coats of clear lacquer.
