HOW-TO/TUTORIAL:Gunmetal Trick maybe useful

[dannysreallycool]

Oki for those of you having trouble with finding a better gun-metal solution or can't find any paint or to lazy to leave you home well is a better solution to getting the gunmetal effect

Materials:
A Pencil Sharpner
A Sharp Pencil
and A Good Bottle of Clear Coat(I used Krylon)

1. take the sharpenr and sharpen your pencil until its really (and i mean really) SHARP.

2.If it were a rim you were trying to get the effect on then take the rim and start coloring it with your pencil.

3.You have to keep your pencil sharp at all times, so once it gets the slightest DULL, SHARPEN!!!(Note Be careful not to break the tip)

4.Once you have the results you want, be careful not to smear it, then spray clear coat over it to protect it

NOW YOU HAVE GUNMETAL RIMS OR WHATEVER YOU WERE COLORING

P.S.: Give me some feedback on what you think.

AND I WILL HAVE PICS SOON ENOUGH!!!

Probably just for an even color so it doesn't look like shading in a drawing. That's the only reason I can think of. It's worth a try, and if you mess up, all you do is wash it off.

well it has to be sharp because even colors and also because its looks more shiny and metallic-ish color and a dull pencil would make really dark almost to the point where it looks just like grey or black

Yes if you do end up messing up just take your trusty PENCIL ERASER and erase
