I made this acrylic about a month ago using Alumilite, Alumilite red and white dyes, and Alumidust interference red and pearl powders. I really wanted a unique depth to the blank using the red dye with the interference red powder.
The tubes and drilled hole were painted Red using Testor's Model Master paint and I used a gunmetal cigar pen to pair with the blank. 10 coats of thin CA applied over to gloss it up a bit.
I sent a few of these blanks to my friend and he painted the tubes black which I think gave the blank even more depth! Once I get out of this blasted sling I think I will try another piece of this acrylic with black tubes instead of red.
Sorry for the bad pictures...I don't have a light box setup yet and I was trying to get natural sunlight to reflect out the pearl and interference red in the blank.
