even thought spray paint works, i'd rather try rit dye and try it on some pieces and see how they come out, becuase i can just spray paint them if it doesnt come out too good

Spray paint works very well. After spray painting the base colour a few times, my friend painted the girl, letters, and lines. The girl was painted on with acrylics and her rough texture didn't fit in with the glossy ivory sides.

I then put on around eight coats of matte spray paint and it all pulled together. It looks and feels great with the matte paint.

Thats a nice clean set-up you got there. Did you sand down the face of the mixer yourself?

Yes, I sanded down the face of my mixer on my own but I never got to finish up what I started. My friends dad was supposed to help me chrome plate it but we never got to it and he moved... So now im stuck with a blue print of my idea but its all good... Still looks pretty cool. The only downside is I have to whipe off the mixer every now and then to get finger prints and marks off of it...

Thanks,
