Great switch plate cover my friend. Love the design and the tips. Thanks for the shout out as well, much appreciated!!
Of course! Gotta give credit where credit is due
It's amazing how a universe so advanced has so much trouble getting paint to stick to bare metal. You'd think they would have invented a good primer long before now. :)
Hahahaha so true.
Also wanted to comment about the laser....not sure if it will work with yours because of the protector surrounding it...but I run a fan over the laser work space to help remove the smoke to get a better burn. Sometimes I also put masking tape over the burn area to help with the unneeded fire lines.
More than one way to make a Star Wars inspired light switch!
That’s right!
I think you weathering turned out great the pewter rub and buff worked well in the end !!
Thanks buddy!
I think it came out great Derek! Has anyone tried using the 3D printed rocker switches fabbed to work with regular switches? Like maybe a drill a hole in each and use a rollpin through the switch...hmmmm
great project, that trick with spraying the base color to help with bleeding when masking is awesome. Every one of your videos has some awesome tricks I would never have known, Keep up the awesome content.
Yeah, that’s a favorite. Works with all kinds of paint too.
Nice result, great video bud
Hey, I'm subscribed to youu tooo. Nerds!!
Thanks James!
@@ViQRoy89 ahaha thanks! Always blows me away that anyone does lol
@@VanOaksProps gotta love a silver Sharpie and silver rub 😏
This was on my todo list as well.. nice work!
Thanks!
I think it looks great. the rub and buff doesn't come across on film. The refreshing of the pinstripe brought it up a few notches for me.
For sure. With the weird reaction between the paints I needed to do something to brighten it up a bit without going too crazy.
Hey Derek, This project came out great. I think the Rub-n-Buff worked just fine once you wiped it down.
Thanks Ron!
8:18 - Now you have to weather the entire wall. ;)
Hahaha. I don’t think that would go over too well.
So cool, Thanks for the tutorial 🔥
Glad you like it!
Love it! Great video as always!
Thanks!
You asked in the video if the rub and buff looked good and I think the rub and buff made it look like faded paint that was showing metal underneath more then scratched metal, but I think it still looked good 👍
a great looking Switch cover. Wouldn't it be nice to create also a cover for the switches themselves?
Definitely something to consider.
Cool
Even though it didn't turn out how you envisioned it and had drying time difficulties I think this turned out great. I don't think the rub-n-buff was a bad choice. When I saw you install it, I couldn't help but think, "Hey my mom needs to paint over that for you." LOL, she paint Everything so if is going to help paint we better prep well with the masking!
Thanks! I've since come up with a better method for consistent painting. So all's well that ends well.
I love your video's. However it's not paint chipping since no paint actually chipped so it still doesn't have the effect masking it off and then painting and peeling that satisfying feeling of actually chipped paint. Keep up the great video's
Thanks, Michael!
👍👍😎✌
Beast work, Derek!!! As always, you knocked it out of the park, brother!! I know you were on the fence with the weathering, but it turned out excellent.
Thanks! Yeah, I think it turned out alright now that I've had a couple days to sit with it.
Be cool door bell cam like nest
You could totally do that.
Great video, sir. This plate turned out a great and different take on the cover. Also silver sharpie for the win.
When you said about a silver Sharpie I wasn't so sure...but my reservations were unfounded, it's a great effect and the whole switch plate looks amazing. Keep up the great builds and thanks for all the tips so far.
It’s definitely a quick & easy approach. Thanks!
I loved how your plate and Brian's plate tell two different stories. Brian's plate has an oldImperial base vibe while your color choices leans much more to the rebellion. As always, thank you for including your trials and tribulations; valuable lessons to learn, they are!
You bet! Thanks for checking it out.
Love it dude!!
Great job! For aging I use watercolors mixed in quickshine floor rejuvinator. Some colors are translucent and others are opaque. You can thin it with ammonia. Can be air brushed on and wiped off quickly. Ussaly no chemical reactions... for matching old wood I use I thinned oil paints and Japan dryer.
I’m gonna have to try that.
Will this technique still work for me even if I dont have a food processer?
Absolutely. No food processor required.
Quick question, are you making half your house Star Wars and half haunted mansion? Could you explain that? Actually that would be a cool video showing the progress of how your house looks since you make these tutorials but don’t show the whole area to see how cool and immersive it is
Not really. As a weekly video maker I’m having to come up with new projects and so I tend to make some things as one off’s and others for more permanent installation.
@@VanOaksProps oh ok
Well, I was gonna say.. like smugglers room! Buut you beat me to it. Awesome stuff
Oh yeah, Brian is the MAN!
This came out great! Love the blue-grey color too! Also, I liked the Rub and Buff ... it made a difference between chipped and worn. I have to start getting better with Inkscape or AI or whatever programs to start creating my own SVG files more often!!
Thanks! I really like the blue color too.
Awesome build!😁👍🏿
Cool! I really like the look of the browns over that blue base color.
Me too. It was rough at first but in the end I like how it turned out.
@4:18, your suggestion of re-applying a coat of the base color after masking is genius! It was one of those "How did I not already know that?" moments for me.
I also followed your suggestion from your Mandolorian helmet weathering video and bought some water/oil paints and they work great! They actually dry in a reasonable amount of time, but give you time to adjust / blend them before they do dry. Great stuff, they replaced my standard oils which I had pretty much abandonded use of.
Glad it was helpful!
