I received my Orange Angler about week ago. I decided I wanted to do something different, so I took out the blk bezel insert and strip down the shinny chrome that goes around the bezel and the numbers/markers, by using sand paper. I decided to to put a brush finish on the bezel only. I painted the markers/numbers orange and in the grooves on the side of the bezel I painted blk. Here is what it looked like. I warning you guys I did not even clean it up that good, just wanted to take some quick & dirties so you can see the color arrangement.    Well I did not really care for that set up, so back out came the blk insert and I decided to to put a brush finish on the case. The top of the bezel I had already put a brush finish on it. I tried numerious different color combinations to paint this thing. I even painted the bezel orange like the Orangia Angler that hucky wants so bad. I just could not get the feel for it. Well I found something that I liked, so I decided to go with an oil base enamel paint, something that would take a hardener. 1 Shot Lettering Enamel is what I used and a wet look hardener to go in it. I also used a airbrush and purchased a really good artist oil paint brush. I thought the 1SHOT paint might be something that could take a beating, if I bump the bezel into something. So here is what I came up with.        Oh I could get bored with this and strip it down again and paint 1 thru 15 orange and the rest blk. Also I am going to mod the hands on this baby and I think I am going to do it myelf. I will paint the hands blk. |

Really liking that second second treatment. Maybe the dots should be orange tho or even just brushed? Last edited on Tue Jul 29th, 2008 09:37 am by max |

Nice work Teddy. Interesting choice to put black in the groves of the bezel. It almost gives it a patina look. I like all the combinations. The orange to the 15 and the black on the rest would look really good too. Have Fun!! |
