PB1 custom attempt #1

Whats the opinion on these Elite icons? Looking a little over painted to make silver. Is the base color of them normally this amber color or were these possibly resin casts somebody did? Id like to get them eventually to black. Would using acetone to remove paint dissolve the icons?

Yes acetone will remove everything you need to remove off the icons. Its quite good and quite quick. If they're gunmetal it makes them look like chrome with no work. Typically then I paint them with some candy colours or of your just after black then a quick media blast with some graphite black cerakote or a nice black basecoat with a auto clear they'll look blacky chromey goodness. Lol
 
I'm going to call this project a success. Thank you to all who followed along. Its actually a fairly easy deal but many hours to polish the plates of a PB1. In a matter of a week turn a beater into a new pair. Already started polishing another set. That frame will be sent off for a fresh coat of paint.
