Infinity Gauntlet custom paint job

Had a really fun day today!! Thought I would take my cheap $20 Infinity Gauntlet I got from Target and give it a little paint job! This is a very easy process and if you would like to give it a shot, here are the materials and a few tips on how to do this yourself. Here is the list of items I used and where I got them:

Michaels:
- Chip Brush By ArtMinds: $1.07
- Artist's Loft Metallic Acrylic Paint, 4 oz: $4.28
- Craft Smart® Acrylic Paint, 2 oz.: $4.50

Home Depot:
- Plasti Dip 11 oz. Black: $5.98
- Masking Tape: $3
Walmart:
- Elmer's Poster Tack Putty: $2.19

What you want to do first is remove the batteries and their cover to prime separate
Next take the Tack putty and cover all of the gems (work very well to protect them from getting unwanted primer and/or paint on them

Now take the Gauntlet and put it somewhere you don't mind getting a little spray on. Get about arms length away and get a nice coat of plasti dip on the gauntlet. If the gauntlet has more plastic showing then desired give it another small spray or two.  *Remember you can always put a little more on but you cant remove it* Do the same thing to the battery cover. Now let them sit for a minute or two, it doesn't take long for it to dry but you want to make sure it dries thoroughly.

Next, for the rubber part of the guantlet (the fingers), you want to do a thin coat of black acrylic paint over them. The Plasti Dip makes the rubber sticky and when you dry brush it will take it off. Then, if you like, put the battery cover back on, or paint separately.  

Once that drys you are ready to start giving the gauntlet the look it deserves!! Get a couple paper towels (or some thing to put the paint on). Put the paint on then dip the brush (and yes I mean this) wipe as much paint off your brush as you can then begin painting the gauntlet. It's going to take some time and towards the end it's going to seem like you're not putting anything on the gauntlet but you are. It's putting dry layer on top of dry layer on top of dry layer. This is how you get that used damaged look. Remember try to get as much paint off the brush as possible and it doesn't need to be all gold when finished. After you're finished just remove the blue putty! But be careful you may take off a little of the dry plasti dip off with the putty if not careful

Hope this helps and good luck if you give it a shot, if it helps, this was my first DIY custom project!!!!
