[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 4087713, member: 35036"] I tried the dish soap idea out the other day. I honestly really like it, you can make some neat looking stuff. But… it’s really mostly a micro pattern, rather than macro. The problem with that is if it’s too dark or too light of a micropattern then you’re just gonna look like a blob of whatever the prevailing color is at a distance. So that’s where macro patterns come in. With the rifle I’ll attach a picture of later, I did a macro pattern (big fat stripes), followed by a dish soap paint job laid out on top. I think if I were to do it again, I would do two perpendicular dish soap jobs on top of each other, with a macro (few big stripes) over the top of that with the dish soap paint job visible between the strips. I’m still torn on if I wanna try it again with the rifle I’m building, or just kinda strip the paint off this guy and try again. [/QUOTE]
