Step 8Final boxes
Other paint colors and buffing patterns can be used on the box surfaces. These were sprayed with Duplicolor Metalcast green only. Testors also offers some spray paints that are available in transparent colors.
The box on the left has a birdseye pattern made by moving the buffing pad in small circles as it is worked across the surface. In this case, I flat-sanded the surface of the box before coming back to add the pattern.
The box on the right was buffed in two passes, each only going to the centerline of the box. This produces a bookmatched imitation.
The surfaces are hard to photograph and capture the 3D effect produced.
Try some different buffing patterns and paints for an unusual custom finish!
