We are doing a maltese cross for a customer that brought us a picture of it on a fire truck. It has a ring that is engine turned but has a blue tint on it. I figured we could engine turn aluminum leaf and then coat it with a frog juice 1shot mix. That worked oK on a practice piece, but I was wondering if anyone else has a better way to do the tinting. It kind of has an anodized look to it. Thanks in advance.

Eric, Get yourself some 1-Shot Super Gloss Tinting Clear.(not UV Clear in the white-labeled can) Just a few drops of any color 1-Shot added to it gives you some nifty shades that are transparent. It's so much fun to experiment with, but sometimes it's difficult to find. And it only comes in a pint can.
Or try one of the pearlescent 1-Shots. They are VERY transparent, but metallic-looking too. They must be stirred frequently.
Have fun. Love...Jill
