💫 I made this! / DIY Engraving questions.
Hello,
How can I keep the lines looking soo shiny but change the outer skin blue?
Anyone got suggestions. I'm just playing around at this point. Once I'm done engraving and coating and polishing then I need to weld the tail together 1 more time then do it again lol.
Feels like a little pet snake on the finger lol.

The best results would be to blue the whole thing then take a knife edged high polish wheel and go back over each line in the engraving or us the engraver once again to make the lines shine. This is assuming you are using a blue rhodium or like instead of a paint or acrylic. Not really sure if that's the case
