spraypaint over lace?

I did this recently on a guitar I painted for a student. The main thing is like jaysmo said, light coats and make sure the lace is not lifting up when the paint hits it. Also, plan ahead of what color you want the lace to be especially if you are doing it in two shades of a the same color. For example, I did it backwards on my test run from what I wanted. Stupid mistake but easy to do when you don't think about what your doing.

Actually, the technique was patented by the Creek Chub Bait Company of Garrett Indiana in 1919. The process hadn't been thought of before, and Creek Chub actually licensed the process to other lure manufacturers...including their big competitors like James Heddon, Pflueger, South Bend, Paw Paw...!
This Creek Chub "Wiggler", along with the "early issue" box in the background (not mine) are worth a small fortune.
While this particular lure isn't mine, I have a rather substantial collection of this sort of thing. I have gotten away from the Antique Tackle world a bit because you just don't use these things for fishing anymore (imagine that), but I can ride a 1955 bicycle without much worry!
If you happen upon any old fishing lures, please let me know!!
My wife found some lace with randomly spaced / sized stars, this might work. Going to try a practice run tonight. I'll be posting photos up over on my Colson Tandem build thread.
That's interresting about the lure, I sold a few antique ones a while back, they bring good $$$. I always keep my eye out for them at yard sales etc.

I have a trade bike that the guy thinks was used in the Hovis ad - do you have any idea if this bike is somewhere around or was he right. No idea why I think you might know except for your Hovis name. must be the sun has got to me today.
one of the tricks to doing this I was taught is to use a "reposition-able" spray glue to help hold the lace in place.
LIGHTLY spray the lace then place it in position. If you then do light coats of paint.

In the 60's and 70's we used lace, fishnet hosiery, paper doily's( this was used in the sixties to make a ghost image in racing stripes), and about anything that was open weave enough to get paint thru to create special effects. With stretchy material, you can also distort the pattern and make some really cool effects.
Another old school cool effect is to use acetaline smoke over a base color and then clear over it.
Lace is cool but don't limit yourself.

This is a FUN thread. I've been buying paper lace from the cake and baked section of craft stores cutting it up and then sticking it on cloths with stencil adhesive. I then either spray or use a stencil brush to paint it in. It's a great effect.
This stuff has never let me down for either keeping the edges down or coming back off after I've painted.
This is a girls denim jacket I added a few details with this method.
And paper lace is not very expensive. Maybe I'll have to try this on a fender or something.
Spray a base coat then use a Candy color. Silver base then gold then candy gives a nice ghost effect. Same with Torch smoke over a base then candy over that.
Did a dash and garnish moldings on one of my street rods this way. It took on a near burled wood look only it was candy red.
Play with this it is Cool.

lots of traditional delivery bikes get labelled Hovis.... as good to day as they've always been
Yep that's the one, doubt if mine is the same bike but it's a great bike, goes with the one I have ridden by Gary Lineker in the Walkers Ad - that has been verified.
Cheers
I've used mesh drywall tape on a couple of bmx projects. I used it to put tiny squares of black over a white frame and tiny squares of white on a set of black handlebars. The cool thing is you can wrap it around the bars and get a cool twisted spiraling effect as the mesh stretches.
On a side note...If you get the non-slip stuff that you put in your kitchen drawers you can accomplish a carbon fiber look.grey first then black sprayed at an angle.Takes some practice but I have had good results.
