Paint or no paint?

hmm tough choice, but in my personal opinion i would go for the paint, gives the saber a better look and if your going to weather it you could make it look similar to Luke ROTJ V2 :)

I would go with the paint scheme.

Personally I like the paint in the grooves on the emitter and the ribbed section, but the paint on the grip looks out of place.

I like them both, but I think it would look a little bit better if you had pant on.

The paint gives the hilt a nice contrast, IMHO. I think itīd look very good with the paint job.

I may come up with different paint ideas, but mainly iam gonna paint the ribbed section, I knwo that. maybe a couple bands on the lower hilt section. But not sure. The paint in teh bladehodler grooves is gonna be tough so I may just mask off the inside of them and paint the ring edges.

What kind of paint were you thinking about doing? I got some of that hammered spraypaint and it looks pretty good with a few coats and provides pretty good grip. It doesn't look as good as powder coating, but it works.

Ah theres this textured paint that my bro has tha tI got for his kiddy saber he made for the youngen, its not black but its not gray its kinda a mix of the 2, You really got to let it sit outside for like 2 days cause its still gonna have that tackey feel like its not fully dryed.

So Iam gonna have to wait till it warms up and to get the darn thing finished beore I can paint it. I need to sell something to get a couple things first.
