Chreees Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Walt, you were right man... So I go to wash it today and of course when you're putting water in it to wash it out water's gonna get on the outside... I was using water that was neither hot nor cold, it was in between, like I always do. This water gets on the outside of the vase and the red paint literally washes off. I'm like, wtf. I was so angry I said fuck it and rub my hand over the vase and what you see in the after pic is the result. I'm so pissed. I'm probably going to go back and really scrub hard and get the silver stuff off as well and just have a clear vase. But I'm going to be looking for another red vase of some sort so I can regain my black/red theme. I guess atleast now I won't have red paint flecks all over my hand after touching my vase everytime...

Chreees Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 I would LOVE a red jumbo, but that's just too much money.... Thanks guys, I'm pretty bummed about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Sorry to hear/see this Chris, it did looks pretty sweet all together with the color scheme. Maybe since you'll have a clear base now you can design your own and hopefully the color/design will actually stick (assuming you don't use watercolor paint as it looks like that's what was used...)

Chreees Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Thanks Jeff. I think that's what I'm gonna do. I just need to know the proper way of going about it so whatever I do will last. I'm thinking incorporating black, blue, and red into it so it'll match the hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Sounds like it should be a great combo and match the stem/hose even better than the red glitter one did. As for how to actually customize the base, I'm not sure at all, not very creatively inclined. But, I'd say check out Michaels or another type of craft store and ask them what a good "waterproof" type paint would be. I'd imagine maybe like an oil-based paint for models (cars, planes, etc) would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't remember what paint he said to get, lol. I definitely want to fully plan this out so I don't screw it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Wow man, that seriously blows. Really sorry to hear that. I would say get that damn glitter glue off of there and really make it your own. I know that Rusto makes a frosted glass spray that you could use to make the vase look cool if you just combo with some painters tape. I would say go with a red or smoke colored spray that is made for glass and layer over with the frost in a pattern... just an idea. Good luck!

Chreees Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Thanks Joel and Blackfish. I'll do some research and find out what type of paint would be best to use. Blackfish, that'd be awesome if you wanted to draw up a sketch. Thanks dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zha28 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I got a glitter base with my km from Hookah-shisha. Haven't used it. I got a km clear frosted base with gold paint love it. But to be honest. I love clear bases just like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 I like it man! Not sure I could paint all the swirlies and stuff and it look good... Right now I'm thinking I could paint a symbol on each side of the vase and incorporate black and red solid bands above and below them and also on the neck of the vase. Something simple, yet nice, where I can still see the smoke well and everything. Now, I just need to know what paint would be best.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rani Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Artists supply store, Glass paint, Sealer, Done. The problem with most of these vases is that they aren't using glass paint and they certainly aren't sealing them. So it comes off - even from the KM vases. Do it right yourself and no worries.

Chreees Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Yeah Rani, that's the plan. Hopefully I get a chance to here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent about 30 minutes completely stripping the vase of everything, so now it's clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
