First Foiled Plug

So after much internet reading and searching I decided to try doing a foil plug.

Im no pro at this and this is the first one Ive attempted, so far pretty happy with results.

I sprayed some transparent lime gold pearl on top, white belly and then sprayed a lclear ime pearl over the belly and sides.

From what Ive been reading it will need somewhere between 3 and 6 coats of epoxy to make it smooth.

If it works out I will definetly do some more over the winter months. Ill post more pics as the build continues.

CC401,

Really nice, what did you use for the textured scales under the foil?I really like the size and depth.
Super sexy foil job.

Yeah been busy with everything, plugs, life and two jobs, not complaining though.

I really like the look of it so far just a lot of steps.

Hopefully will get a dozen or so done for plugfest
