Evil Ted Live: Creating a Hot Metal bluing Effect.

[@10thLegionPictures]

Great stuff. Used your technique on a nerf gun for a sci-fi short prop

[@EvilTedSmith]

I'm happy to hear that!

[@shape8198]

Works amazing for a Star-Lord blaster as well!

[@Frightline777]

You should call yourself Awesome Evil Ted!!!

[@alexvalealexvale1105]

it would be nice to have a video where you show us a complete tour of your studio where you work :)

[@EvilTedSmith]

Soon, just rebuilding my shop now.

[@promethea79]

Great video! Ive been binge watching your videos while finishing my cosplay.

[@EvilTedSmith]

Thank you.

[@WiFuzzy]

You needed to fade the blue off to black. Would have looked more realistic. IMO.

[@gravemarker]

Using the blue lacquer over a silver base would create a blued steel effect for your props.

[@EvilTedSmith]

Thanks for the tip.

[@Yaruzaru]

Ted I know that you have this effect on plastic but have you tried it on metal? Would you require a primer/clear coat first?

[@EvilTedSmith]

I would just paint it right on the metal. No primer.

[@Yaruzaru]

Evil Ted Smith thank you.

I love all your videos and have recently started working on EVA foam armor. Have you ever made a costume and wrapped it with metallic car vinyl? I’m currently working on a Gilgamesh cosplay armor with shiny gold car vinyl. Any tips you can offer if you’ve tried before?

[@EvilTedSmith]

No I have not yet, but see others doing it. I'm interested trying it some time.

What Payment methods do you accept for your templates?

[@logansmith9437]

Nine_Tails137 I'm assuming it's PayPal. Just check his site.

[@nine_tails137]

+Logan Smith I checked his website under FAQ, and didn't get an answer. Hense the reason I posted a youtube comment.

[@EvilTedSmith]

PayPal.

[@nine_tails137]

+Evil Ted Smith I don't have PayPal. 😞

Could you please add a link to your reference photo? Usually I see a broader blue band, and I believe the coloring may be reversed; see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1917_Browning_machine_gun#/media/File:Browning1917.jpg since the hottest part of the gun is closest to the heat source -- the body, it would get the blue. Motor cycle exhaust pipes also have this kind of discoloration, and it's bluer at the body end.

KZbin claims I was view number 666.

Ha ha...
