Go figure you run into a lot of people using macs here... I think you have to be sort of the creative type to understand the effort we put into these things.

BTW the blue color I matched it to and used is Testors Enamel Dark Blue ($1.39 at Hobby Lobby )

Awesome!
Got To Try This On My NEXT one!

Thanks for the bump chevhead, was well worth a look. Also great job Aaron!

That looks great, especially with the blue paint.

Nice job on the Goldedge, just saw how old the OP is - from 2008.

Heck yeah! A friend and I are thinking about trying it on some spare gold dollars and doing it on my dubl duck when we feel comfortable... I'm really scared to do it, but I think it's going to be a fun chemestry project in the end... May end up having my 13 year old watch and learn about what's happening and how it is doing it... I know it blew my mind

A great thread, and good results. I have ordered the same kit to experiment with. Initially on an old DE I have, maybe a gold dollar or two, then the Ducks, maybe.
I am eager to see how the masking works as I have a few old washed out gold washed blades that this may help on as well.
Thanks again Aaron, 7 years later. Still valid, and appreciated.
