Girlfriend has this Nautical Star up in her appt...it was a poop brown (like you can see) at first, and she was planning on just painting it a dark gunmetal. I told her to give it to me for a week and ill sand it down and do something with it for her.

Basically need some ideas on what to do with it. I've already sanded down one of the points, but i can't decide if i want to leave it a brushed aluminum, completely polish the whole thing to a chrome/mirror finish, or involve some color with it.

 

alternate the panels between flat black and polished

or just spray the whole thing a decent gunmetal or bronze

 

So THIS is what you've been doing with all your time since you haven't been over! Can you tell what I've been up to with all my free time?? (check the post count bitch ) Hahaha, what a sweet bf you are Tyler. Oh, and as for the question, I kinda like the rusty/brownish tint thing it's got goin on.....crazy **** my cousin Jennifer just got the same damn thing for christmas this year! See ya soon cuz

 

Have the whole thing dipped in chrome.

 

sand it all down.. polish it somewhat then take a wire wheel and do like little half moonshapes all over.. give it a crazy texture...

that would be ****!

 

i think polished would look sexy...but that takes a lot of time, patience and sore fingers

 

i think it looks good like that
