Description
With a resin print as the foundation, we enhance these statues with a layer of real metal in our spray booth, then meticulously craft a unique finish. Let’s take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of these embellished statues, so you can inform your customers effectively during your appointments.
Advantages
- Higher level of detail: Since the statue is sprayed rather than cast, we can achieve a high level of detail, bringing even the finest details to life in the statue
- Price: Embellished statues are more affordable than bronze cast statues, making them an attractive option for customers with varying budgets.
- Minimal visible print spots: Due to the embellishment process, there are almost no visible print spots, resulting in a smooth and professional surface finish.
- Consistent color and finish: Compared to other materials, embellished statues have less variation in color and finish, meaning the end product closely matches the chosen reference.
Disadvantages
- Lightweight and fragile: Because the statue has a resin print as its base and only contains a thin layer of real metal, the weight of the statue remains low, which may result in susceptibility to breakage if dropped.
- Potential discoloration: Patinated embellished statues may discolor over time. Although this can largely be polished away with, for example, beeswax, it’s important for customers to be aware of this possibility.
- Variable texture: The texture of embellished statues may vary depending on the metal compositions used and the specific spray and sanding process, resulting in subtle differences between individual statues.
