Metallic Paint Effect For Steampunk

Here's a photo of a plaster bust I painted.

I used a simple paint technique which could be useful for all sorts of projects,especially steampunk ones.

Step one.
Paint the object all over with matt black paint, acrylic or emulsion/latex paint should be fine.

Step two.
Use a dark green paint to paint mainly the low areas of the object, using the same type of paints as in step one.

Step Three.
Using a good quality metallic paint colour of your choice, very lightly paint the high spots on the object

That’s it, couldn't be easier.
