Hey Guys. Ive been experimenting with methods to make the borders, GIJOE text, and area behind the bubbles of my 25th cards silver like the factory reflective versions. For months, Ive tried everything....from silver inkjet paper (no go, looks bad) to hand painting the areas to be silver (again, no go...it looks tacky).
So after months of experimenting, I finally found a way that looks pretty decent...all be it time consuming....spray paint. The cards are pretty reflective and display well. Its as close as I can get right now without actually getting them printed the way Hasbro does it (which Im sure costs A LOT!) Sam Heres the silver Legions Cobra Commander....... http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...n/DSC01016.jpg If Destro can have gold packaging, why not Cobra Commander..... http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...n/DSC01014.jpg Front and back....for those who missed it when I posted the old version before..... http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...n/DSC01008.jpg |

Those look great, I have a feeling looking at the gold one that your camera isn't doing the silver one justice.

Those look incredible, you should be proud! They should be hanging on a peg in TRU.
