No gloss coat , have yet to try it I am a bit concerned that the solvents in the clear may mess with the air brush paint. I will do a practice dial and see how that works out first before I commit to a complete dial . I am going to try a gloss water based polyurethane finish ( think I have some at my studio) I think that may be the best option , I also need to see if I can shot it with my air brush or not. The style of tropical dials that I am able to produce are the weathered look from moisture / uv . Still using this gen to base my work off of.
I think I have gotten alot closer to this style than previous attempts. I dont think I will be able to achieve those minty tropical gloss dials simply because I am applying the finish over the text. IF was able to get the dial plates first, then do my tropical work and then have them pad printed I would be able to achieve that ,
I am putting an order in with Raffles this week So I will order a few more dials and do them up and then probably sell them off that way , or you can contact me directly and we can discuss ordering one . Shoot me a DM and lets talk! I may also order standard dial and see how adding the tropical effect will work on those ??
perhaps something like this..
or I might be able to achieve something like this with the new 6610 dials that raffles has released.
