Step 2Painting
Now, you need to decide what parts you are using and how they will be layed out. Here, I show what I decided on.
Now you need to paint the parts of the flashlight. Paint the case and front black. Make sure it is well coated, but not caked on heavily. Then spray a chrome coat not as evenly and not as thick as the black coat. You should still see some blackness. Also, spray all accessories chrome. For the case, I decided silver was a good enough color. I wanted the front different, so I left it on the spray board.
Now I sprayed the gears and front copper, the washer and three-way gold (brass), and left the nut and spring plain. I also sprayed the tube a slight gold coat, so it isn't pure silver or gold. Make sure you paint the parts the same way as the case, letting the last coat show trough somewhat. If you don', like i did, it will look too new.
Play with the colors till you get what you want.
