Big "H" seat dyed

Recommended Posts

i got a chance to dye the seat while the camera stills works, this is the first coat, as i was amost done doing the second spray coat a dot of the dye dropped on the bulls arm.

I'm freaking out now, hope to be able to repair or cover,

i added a pic of the second coat of dye with dot rubbed away , but i now have a brown spot, any sugguestion for repairs or cover up

it's not a mistake, it's shading!

Something I've learned... Every time you look at that seat, that spot will be the only thing you see. Before you go any further, show your customer the seat. Make no mention of the spot, see what his reaction is. I can almost guarentee(?) he won't notice. It does blend pretty well, I had to look a second time to see it( guess I should read the text first...lol) But if you're not happy with it, nail it to the wall as a reminder, And start over(ugh!).

acetone and paper towels have saved my butt more than once.

I think what to do here is to apply some resist to the area that is not "Mistake" and then re-dye the "mistake area, and have it blend in as a mussle shading, like Drac has said. Then I think the problem will go away.

I agree with TimD about seeing the spots. I think it looks really great and on the last pic you posted it looks like the spot isn't that much of a prob anymore.

Nice job with the colours schemes, it's definetly an eyecatcher.

Maybe hang your pieces next time you are spraying. To avoid the drip. I hate when that happens and ALL I see from that point on is a freak'n spot not the hole pic. Kinda like a zit on prom night or the driver's license pic.

This looks to be coming out pretty good.
