my brown board has straight black fins. how about yellow?
Chip is suddenly concerned with color-coordination and aesthetics?
(I cannot put a finger on why this pic is appropriate, but something tells me it just is.)
Actually, the purple hair seems about the appropriate color for the fin. Or maybe shocking pink.
Go the green, definitely green. Tint, not opaque.
The board will have a “tree motif”
(came up with that myself)…
Looking at the picture, it’s hard to tell, but are all the rainbow colors present (ROYGBIV)? How about a set of rainbow fins? Of course, my color sense runs the way of hallucinatory.

Not as pretty as the purple glitter though....

yep, pretty much …the basic colours were yellow, red and blue .The difference being , hicksy’s chicks added BLACK to the equation for the bottom .
you guessed it …when the resin hit it , we got …
Well , tiktok, I might seriously do a rainbow set , now the gauntlet’s been thrown down , so to speak !! If I do , it will be a foam core sprayed then glassed [no black colour in the mix this time , though !]
Rainbow coloured bonzer runners and a raind’oh! matching back fin …yep , sounds fairly distinctive [?unique?] to me !

Suggestions for a caramel fin ?
What did you use for that , please , Donald ?
…was it spraypainted foam or wood core , glassed ?
Or , can you actually get a caramel coloured tint or pigment ? [short of mixing a few colours together and experimenting , has anyone got an unmixed caramel pigment or tint ?
thanks !

…and for the rainbow fin , I’m figuring I’ll do at least six / seven masked off spray colours on a foam core fin , then glass it . Mind you , to do the nearly rainbow deck on the bonzer , I only used yellow , red and blue sprays …the overlap of the colours gave me orange , green , and purple.
…I think I’ll make two or three sets of foam cores , and try different techniques .
mix of pigment, not made by me though, won’t be able to give you an accurate recipe…
