Reclaimed Frames

[srdzevon]

I always love the DIY threads, so I thought I'd make a little one of my own.

I found this frame at my local Goodwill for 6 bucks



Turns out, it fights my Plighting perfectly, but i'm not about the color.



I decided to go with a matte dark gray with a silver undercoat.

4 coats of sliver



1 coat of flat dark gray with a little scotchbright pad action to reveal the sliver.



Test fit with the old mat.



Needs another coat of black and a little more rubbing.
Once i finish that and get my new mat and glass, I'll take some proper pictures with my good camera.
I'm pretty happy with it so far. i think the black might be a bit dark. Kinda wish i'd gone with a little lighter color, but I think it's going to be just fine in the end.

I think it looks great with that amount of black with the silver. Great marriage there.

Pretty sharp.

Thanks guys! I think once i get rid of the fugly beige mat and finish the paint job it's going to look pretty sweet.

Not bad for $40 or so.

Woo! Awesome!

I found a similar deal at goodwill...big nice frame, solid wood and all for $8. Get it home, measure it...24"x35".

cool project, i kind of had the same thoughts after speaking with TC way back about this print, just done nothing about it, like looking for an older garaged frame, what paint re you using, graf cans?


congrats
