After turning a semi-translucent blank last night, and failing to have painted the tube, I realize the value of doing so...
But then, I wondered... what color should I paint the tubes? What effects does it have?
I assume the following:
If I paint it black, then it will darken the base color and transparent resin will look black. If I paint it white, then it will brighten the base color and transparent resin will look white.
Does glossy or flat paint make any difference whatsoever?
And if you've painted the tube another color, did you have any problems or successes you can point out?
And what about painting the inside of the blank? Do you recommend this practice more than the painting the tube?
