looks good man!
looking forward to your build thread to see the steps you took for your paint & bake.
i'm wanting that same bronze/copper tone on my saber.

[stegasp]

Yeah... I don't have any pictures of the painting process. I just taped it off, primed it. Let the primer dry. Painted it then baked it. I didn't do a clear coat.
