USE ON SCULPTURE --KOI FISH

Here in this posting we show you that our quality products can always be used on sculptured surface, and the different brand names can be used in combination.

PROCEDURES:

Make sure that the surface is dry and

free from dirt, grease and other contaminants.

Stir well the Cro Tone Pearlescent Gold Paint (C200).

The paint can be diluted with thinner if required.

Application of the paint (C200) can be done with brush or spray gun.

Apply the paint evenly on the object surfaces.

Two coats of the paint (C200) is recommended.

Allow 15~30 minutes to dry before recoating.

After the base coat is dried (Pearlescent Gold Paint C200), stipple small patches of CRO. Tone Patina Finishing (P65 whitish color) onto the whole surface lightly with the tip of a brush. And after it's dried, we use the brush again to color some part of the koi fish in red (P73).

We color the fish's head in red to so that it looks lively and imply

the meaning of good luck and prosperity to the fish pond owner.

Then, we stipple some black color onto the fish so that the strong contrast of the red and black makes the fish looks very animated!! We also color the eyes black (we use our black matte to do it).

Finally, apply a layer of CRO. Tone 2K Clear Coat for a shiny finishing and long term protection. The result is fantastic.

USAGE - RAINBOW SPARKLE PEARL VARNISH - part 1

In this post we introduce you our valued customers another quality product from RCS. Here, we use the "Rainbow Sparkle Pearl Varnish" (and some other Texture paint) to draw a colorful image on the floor. You can design your own favorite design and then transfers it onto the floor, wall and even the ceiling of your building!

Before starting the drawing process, coat the floor/wall with one layer of base coat.

we design a modern looking image in the computer (Adobe Illustrator) and then use some simple method to enlarge the image on the floor.

some simple tools that you need in order to draw the design.

use the well wrapped bricks (with smooth surface for easier sticking of the "tack-it") to straighten the line, so that you get a very long "ruler" to draw straight line.

As seen in the diagram above, draw the 2 diagonal line and they will intersect so that you can get the exact center of the floor, this is the center of the circular motif of the design.

use a long ruler to draw the lines

stick the nail at the center of the floor and use the "Tack-It" to attach it straight up and make it as the pivot to draw the circles you want.

use the knots at varying distance from the center to draw circles of different size, while drawing the circles, make sure that diameter of each particular circle remain the same (by putting the knot near the tip of the 2B pencil and slightly tighten the line while drawing)

repeat the above procedures so that you get all the circles and lines you want

finally, we use the masking tapes to mask the parts don't want to be painted with Rainbow Sparkle Pearl Varnish (and Artistic Texture Paint), so that after finishing the whole painting process, we will peel off the masking tape to reveal the grayish line.

The painting process will be posted in the next posting, stay tuned...
