Awesome. Any clues as to the categories this year?

Will be sport, lifestyle, vintage/"pre-lux", and metals.. may even be a timepiece in the mix.. still unsure on that one.

Good stuff! That Kill Switch bezel gives me an idea.

Just a lil HQ Dome theme for a radarlock...Went with more weather/corrosion to the look than a typical silver-esque appearance. Played with this one a few times until I simply liked it.

Very cool concept!

Looking forward to having these in hand so I can see how truly amazing they look!!!

So, I'be been wanting to paint a few pairs for a while. Never tried. I'm a bit scared and unsure of the proper way to do this.
I know we have a few customizer here.

So, first question : Primer, or no primer ?
Then :
- which paint brand. I know I can find some Molotow or Montana around here. Not sure about any other brands
- Finish Coating or not ? Glossy or matte ?
- water based or other option ?
- what should I prepare in case I mess up ? Solvant to remove my crappy paint job ? anything else ?

I'm going to try my luck on other tiny objects, maybe. But the spray cans are pretty expensive here, so I'd rather make sure I buy the proper stuff first.

Hiya

I recommend doing a course of some kind. I did a few days training with the top UK custom painter - Dave Bristow. Cost a few quid but helped me through the mind field of pitfalls etc.

It’s a science to be honest - so much tech regarding paints etc that it’s worth training first.

You can get the info you need on YouTube etc but it takes months to process it all.

Ps - a lot of Oakley OEM finishes are poached from the fifties & sixties fisherman!

Thank you for your feedback :)
Well, I won't look into trainings as I really have no intention in doing a lot of stuff. There are just a couple pairs I'd like to do.
I'll probably go in a street painting spray cans store and ask a few tips on that kind of stuff. And I'll test on a few random objects before going crazy on my Oakleys ^_^

BTW, I didn't get the comment about Oakley OEM finishes :/

I’ve learnt that finishes like Planet X or Ultrablend were first used on fishing lures aka Crankbaits. As long ago as sixty years or more.

Spray cans are actually really good these days. You could use the U-Pol lacquers. Upol Clear #1 is great stuff. They have online instruction pdf’s that tell you everything you need to know. Fiollowing instructions to the finest details is key!

If you want to invest a few bucks, cerakote is not hard to learn, and really nice to use.

Still recommend a trading course.

Stand on the shoulders of giants. For a couple of hundred quid you can upload all thier tricks into your skills set. Priceless really.

Also - if you want, my stuff will blow you away by the great value. I’m half the price of others. :)

Still considering that ;)
I've just not taken the time to take care of it :)
