| try this on any double bladed spinner if you want something different ----
1st blade -- paint the rear half of the blade chartreuse and the front half black.
2nd blade -- paint the rear half of the blade black and the front half chartreuse.
When the blades spin, you will see the chartreuse color flash from front to back, back to front, front to back,,,,,, creating a "strobe" effect when viewed from any direction. You can use any contrasting colors you like. ------ jimjimjim ------ |

Location: NE PA | Good tip... Would be interesting to see it in action. What do you paint it with? I would think that normal paint would come off rather quickly. |

| Lenny --- if you sand the blade and spray on 3 coats , it holds up fairly well ---- what I do is to spray on the lighter color first (3 coats) ,,, then I mask it off and spray on the dark color ,,, or like Kodiak said ,, use a permanent magic marker --------- jimjimjim
PS -- Krylon and Rust-O-Leum are good --
-- do this to both sides of the blade -- |
