The aluminum project I’ve been working on is almost done. Attempting to join the layers without visible hardware did not work but I wanted the hardware to be as invisible as possible. So, I first painted the hardware with a direct-to-metal paint which then allows acrylic paints and media to be applied. When that was dry, I color-matched the hardware to the colors on the piece with acrylic ink and then set them to dry in the brush slots of my brush tub. The white hardware in the photo shows the direct-to-metal paint prior to applying acrylic ink. I used acrylic ink rather than paint to achieve as flat a finish as possible.
