You know I think the way to go might be to silkscreen the logo if you have those skills + income. The painting has been a pain in the a :oops: :oops: !

Well then welcome to my world :crazy:

I would get the smallest acrylic paintbrush you can, and some art caps from a craft store. Just keep layering and scraping until you get in how you'd like to seal it!

Dry overnight and you should have your very own caps!

(that being said mine were blessed by a tribe of Nightkin, and therefor will allow you 800000 extra luck points.)
 
Great idea, but bad execution. Looks clumsy.

Beginner's mistake? Picking the smallest paintbrush for acrylics will almost certainly give you even more headaches and an even worse result, brushes like that have no 'backbone' and you need a certain flexibility for detailed work, as well as somewhat of a 'reservoir' of paint to get a smooth result (more hairs, bigger reservoir). I would go for a high-quality small to midsize brush with a sharp point. The most important part of the previous sentence is 'with a sharp point'. As sharp as the tip of needle. And thin your paint. Lettering with a brush needs to go with a flow, you shouldn't feel that you are working with paint at all.

:oops: I disagree as I have found through trial and error that I require the smallest brush possible in order to layer/scrape, but that's just me :D

This being said I have sold some of these to NMA users, and want to remind anyone who is ordering after seeing this to send me a message and I will include a special something with your Nuka cola cap!

Be safe on the Wasteland,

Melissa

Yes indeed, that would be just you. The "smallest brush possible" (which theoretically could consist of only one hair) is also the least versatile brush possible. So excuse me if I find your comment stupid and uneducated.
Also: "through trial and error"? Look at the product you are selling: it's shoddy. It's poor. It shows no craft whatsoever, only lack thereof. Which makes me think that maybe you haven't gone through enough "trial and error" just yet.
I am impressed by the guts you have selling these, though. And no, that's not a compliment.
 
Awww sadface

:(

I am sorry you find me uneducated and my product poor/shoddy. I am just trying to make something I love with my limited ability, and at the same time earn some real world cash to carry on learning.

In MY trial and error process I have found a smaller brush much easier to work with. That is FOR ME...

I would like to see your caps, and of course if you have specifics as to a brush size/model that you personally use I would be happy to see.


I appreciate that you are taking the time to try and make my caps look better, but a simple disagreement does not mean a personal attack.

We're all friends here
