Ok, I wasn't going to post about this since I thought people might take the p155 but I had a very weathered razor which I thought instead of getting expensive replating on I could just spray with silver or gold paint. Yeah, probably sounds like a stupid idea and makes a good razor look really naff, blah blah blah, but curiosity got the better of me.
I think the idea came from someone saying they wanted to get one painted black.
Anyway, the result actually looked okay (I bought a small can of metallic enamel spray paint) and came out evenly enough. No match for the real thing but from a distance looked ok. Looks like I need a primer first (as the can and my fiancee suggested) as the paint scratched off very easily. You can see in one of the photos where I have scratched the paint off the head.
Has anybody had any luck with this or offer any tips? She suggested a layer of nail polish after priming and spraying.
By the way, no intention of selling old duffers crudely resprayed on ebay for hundreds of pounds. This is just an experiment for my own curiosity.
