greasemonkeyredneck Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I recently tried spray painting my backer board. I liked it. Then I got an idea for a pegasus pattern I have. Here's the results of my little experiment. The cuttings were stack cut. All I done was painted one backer board black, one red, and one blue. What do ya'll think?

shadylady0447 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Those look great....I like the blue one! If I use backer board I will spray paint it if I have the right colors...if not I brush paint it with an acrylic. Thanks for showing us.

Vector01 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Great cuts! I like the black and the blue backs. Just started painting my backs myself...I like it better that the felt backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Those turned out great. I must admit, I'm still a felt guy. But now I see the spray painted ones, perhaps I'll give it a go. It would be really cool with a gradient too. Or use a sheet of paper to make a star burst behind it. Lots of possibilities with sprayed backers. Thanks for showing us! Now you got my wheels turning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry5180 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Like Travis, I'm still a big fan of the felt backer, only because of the bit of texture it gives. Luckily they sell it in all sorts of colors. I have thought of printing onto card stock to use as backers as well instead of spray painting. You could actually create the gradient or starburst as a layer on the pattern itself so you could tailor individual areas of the backer to the image. Then just print the layer by itself. Hmmm, if I ever manage to get near my saw again I'm going to have to try that. Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
