I’m painting my safe!.. ZOMBIE WHOOP ASS ~ Pic heavy..

[linkpimp]

Hey team, Yeah it me link that weird guy who paints, this time around I’m custom painting my safe and I just thought I would share it with the team.. You know me I’ve a giver, lol..

So basically I’m turning my safe into a big can of whoop ass (zombiefied)

It going to mix of these:

 

[linkpimp]

Here’s how it all started, just a boring old safe

I started off by removing the touch pad and the door spindles, encasing the touchpad in plastic (for now at least)

Then I sanded down the safe

I also did the inside corners and edges

 

[linkpimp]

Then I whipped it down and proceeded to build my paint enclosure and start on my primer coat

Primer is all done

Now I sanded it again this time with 400gr, ie prepped the safe for the first coat of base paint, these are the materials I used

Note, I’m just concerned about covering part of the door, (where the stenclils are going to be) I’ll have different colors around the border, so no worries at this point..

 

[linkpimp]

While the initial base color is drying I stated on my stencils, this is easy just labor intensive / took a while

 

[linkpimp]

Forward progress continues / Just a quick update for the team,

I finished my stencils

Installed all of the stencil and painted everything

Tomorrow I’ll cover the painted letters with the cutouts, paint the safe and boarders and pull off the lettering..

Once that’s all done I’ll have the opportunity to add some in the zombie, the blood splatter, etc, etc..

 

[linkpimp]

So (with that said) forward progress continues

I pulled of all stencils and covered the words

I was thinking, yeah I know I hate when I do that hahahaa.. Anyway I decided to make a change in the overall design / concept of the project. Instead of making it look like an actual can, I decided to make it look like / match my ammo cans (in looks that it)

 

[linkpimp]

Hey I’m sorry I just like the green look.. haha actually looking back I’ve done a lot of green projects

 

[linkpimp]

So anyway, I mixed up some WWII paint

and sprayed away..

Then I peeled off the letter covers and got this.

Shoot forgot the M lol.. sorry about that..

So now the fun really starts for me. Hahaha I get to spend the night adding in the blood splats, bullet holes, zombies, etc..

With any luck I should have it finished tomorrow..

 

[linkpimp]

Progress continues with the following start on the zombies

Page:

GOOD NEWS!!!! It’s done..

Forward progress continues
I put my attention to the safe door handles, I’ve got a pretty cool idea for them, trust me lol…

Now it time to paint up keypad. That was easy..

 

[linkpimp]

So It’s finally finished! team. And personnel I think I did a pretty cool job.. I’m defiantly liken my new safe..


So here’s what it looked like Friday night… ie Before

Here’s what it looked like Sunday night.. After…

Thank you all for your time team..

[LPPOsecurity]

Why can't I see any of the completed pics??

 

[Sylvain]

Have you shot that shotgun since you painted it?

I would think that hard use, cleaning with solvents and such may wear out the paint.

That is just cool, that is the neatest safe i have seen as far as paint goes. Well done sir, and the firearms look great also, LOVE that shotgun.
