Captain America Shield from used satellite dish

Step 9Paint first coat

Paint first coat
The shield received three coats of white, as the base. All the painting was done with spray paint. I avoid hand painting if at all possible, although this could have been painted by hand with the same amount of trouble.

I deliberated for some time as to the best way to paint this. I will admit, this was one of the most difficult things I've ever tried to paint. It involved a lot of masking, and a very specific step by step process.
