At last!
I kept having problems with the burning thing, basically because my coats of lacquer were thin (because it isn’t cheap! ), so I ended up sanding through the burnt design a few times, and of course, this is way more problematic than a normal sand through (cant just re-spray that part of the design, cos its burnt on, and lacquer+ fire = bad )
So whenever I sanded through I had to strip the area back to wood etc...
Basically I got fed up, and decided to just ditch the burning and do the design in lacquer.
I still think it looks pretty cool.
The photos are a bit crappy cos its night here and my camera is rubbish in all but direct sunlight, but you get the idea.
I'll try to get better ones tomorrow.
I think the hours and hours of sanding was worth it in the end, its really super shiny like a mirror. It really is a pain in the arse to do this with aerosols, sanded through the black so many times trying to get it completely smooth.
