    I need help....

    I'm about to start making my "signature series" tattoo power supply's. this will be a collaboration with other artists.. the first is the "don chuck carvalho" signature tattoo supply...
    I've posted a mock up of the box but I'm not sure what color to paint the box. I usually paint my boxes black but for this one I'm thinking red but I'm open to suggestions....

    agree, light stain to "age" it and lacquer it up.

    ok, sounds like a plan. I'm building 5 of these. the first one is going to the artist who designed the artwork. he requested a black box, so the first one will be black but after that 'll try the stain..

    I like the idea of a darker stain in the corners (like the tobacco-stain look on wall treatments) and a light stain over the rest of it. Cool stuff, Thom!!

    I like a darker stain myself. since these are going to be production models I think I might make them with a few options as far as finish is concerned
