Hey All,
Does anyone have any experience, tips or tricks for using spray paint, stencils, stamps to decorate CDrs? I'm hoping to do a limited run and would like to do something more creative than a label.
I'm thinking some kind of stencil and spraypaint, then lettering with a stamp and india ink.
Ideas?
Thanks!
Ken

I know that Doug Cheatwood did this for a hurricane Katrina benifit CD he released. And I also know that it didn't work in a lot of CD players.ken wrote:stencil and spraypaint
It probably depends on what kind of spraypaint you use (are there different kinds of spraypaint?).

I did some CDs with tempera spin-art on them.
I took a busted old boom box and pried off the little plastic window covering the CD tray. Then I played the CDs and squirted paint on them through the window as they spun.
The results, after some practice with mixing colors and preventing the centrifugal force from splattering paint on the underside of the CD, were pretty cool. Though I don't know how permanent they were. A few of the CDs I have left over have some chips and flakes missing. And I think I might have inadvertently filled a friend's car CD player with red paint chips.
But still, it's worth a shot, if for nothing more than how cool they look if you do it right.
