I would reccomend using cheap aluminum spraypaint from Dollar General, I mean, if you have a Dollar General in Canada.

do you think that after i made this,i could put chrome spray paint on it instead?
would the cardboard hold it? just because i kind of want a shiny chrome metal effect? p.s.you are a god of cosplay. xoxo katie.

I just love you right now. I've been wanting to do an Ed cosplay ever since I saw the series, but told myself I can't do it unless I at least have an automail arm. Now...I have an excuse. ^_^ Thank you for the very helpful tutorial!

I've never painted cardboard before, but would you need to apply something to it first to prevent the cardboard from going soggy when you paint it?
Or is spray paint so thinly layered that it's not wet enough to affect the cardboard. Awesome tutorials! My friends and I plan to make bleach sword out of your tutorials for our first cosplay! |

http://www.cosplay.com/photo/852616/ In this shot you see the brown cardboard peeling away from the forearm. Just the perfect effect for an interview with a japanese TV crew.  http://www.cosplay.com/photo/787919/ We made new parts from craft foam. BTW, I recommend sealing the cardboard with a few applications of watered-down glue before using spray paint. Un-sealed cardboard can just soak up the paint. Seal correctly and you end up using less paint.

I must say, this is inspiring! As a fellow costumer with no monies, I tend to also find cheap ways to make stuff. You did a fantastic job! It looks even better than it's more expensive counter-parts. I like the comment about the sock, too. XD
