This is my Duncan Metal Drifter, I got bored of the original look so I painted it :). It took about 12 hours to do but i felt like 12 weeks haha. It looks pretty cool if i say so myself! If you want a tut i will gladly make one for you guys!
Wow, that looks great, very clean. That’s a nice drifter color if I do say so myself

A really nice color, but does it stay on? Also, how did you get the splash affect?

Well as far as i know yes haha its only been done for about 4 hours now, and for the splash affect i took some testers modeling paint and dipped a small paint brush in the paint and flicked the paint off, like a whip, onto the yoyo it turned out better than i thought it would haha
I almost didn’t recognize the yoyo for a second…Very nice Paint job…I like the blue contrasting the white, very artistic and precise. Good Job, looks great!
Dang… That is sweet! Howd you do it? I might try it with mine 
I will make a tutorial soon, it was actually really easy and kinda fun.
should i add more colors or is ok the way it is??
That is pretty amazing. Have you painted any more advanced yoyos? Or was this your first?
Cool :o
Thanks! and no this was my first but im planning on doing much more
Very impressive man. Top quality.
Did you achieve that beautiful base with a brush? Or did you use an airbrush?
It’s obvious the splash was brush produced. I don’t know why people can’t understand how it is achieved…you put a blob on your brush and fling it. Voila.
I wouldn’t change a thing. Except a layer of clear coat if you haven’t.
And guys…all paint chips eventually.
I mean by scratching it with your nail, and a little surprised that flinging the paint on with a brush works.
Very good for your first.
Very Cool indeed. I love the way your spash came out

haha your actually going to be very surprised but I just used white spray paint…
If you guys want me too i will do it to yours you just have to pay shipping both ways
Spraypaint? Wow man. That’s incredible.
I’d be excited to see what you can do with an airbrush. Next Levi? ;D
It works quite well. I paint CW’s all the time. It literally involves making a base coat and than flinging the splash.
I know what you mean though. With all the layers and attention to detail it takes to paint a base you’d think one layer of splash would look crappy.
Check it out.
The Black/Silver/Gold one isn’t the best example…I applied too much clear coat which washed out the silver and gave the gold pips a greenish hue.
But as you can see on the Orange/Metallic Blue die it came out pretty nice. I let the blue drip a bit to give it more coverage…on a few sides I left it a much finer splash.
COOL! Im going to use an air brush for my next one so im pretty excited ill post pictures
