Painting edge-spots on Top Hat & Cane chips (1 Viewer)

What is the general concensus re: painting edge-spots on Top Hat & Cane chips? Is it possible and if so what is the best approach?

Thanks in advance.

Just makes me think about this chip:

Don't do it.

If you're serious, the best starting point would be to watch the video of the dudes that counterfeited a bunch of chips at Green Valley Ranch. They used an airbrush technique and the chips fooled a bunch of people... So they must have not affected the playability of the chips much.

I am not recommending you try it, just saying if you did, that would be worth watching.

What the hell is that in the picture?!?! For Christs' sake, did a third-grader make that? Anyway, I realize it's a stretch...but it would be a really cool niche to fill - if done properly. I've got a bunch of solids I'd like to sex up a bit.

Will probably heed the warning of the community however.

Counterfeiters don't need the paint job to last long. The rest of us do. Surface paint will wear, especially on the rims and edges, and look bad.

Chips made with physical spots don't have that problem; the color goes through the chip.

Ceramics last longer because they're dye-sub... when the dye sublimates (into a gas), the gas permeates the outer layers of the chip material. So the ink isn't just on the surface, it's inside the material (at least the surface layer of the material). Even so, Chipco used to make a lot of their designs with a white rim, because when the chips do wear (esepecially low-denom chips with casino-level usages), that's where the wear would show up.

Case in point, this Trump Plaza snapper, a dye-sub ceramic, used to have a black ring around the face art, but had a ring of white around that, since they knew that area would wear, first:

Here's a casino-worn chip in good condition; most of the black rim is gone. If the design wasn't made with a white ring, it would still have one, at this point:

I would never do it, but I always thought fingernail polish might do the job. No, not an expert on fingernail polish, not my thing.

I don't know about the GVR chips, maybe it was the same story I watched on Vegas Cheaters (or similar program) but they were saying that some airbrushed counterfeits might still be on the floors or in the cage, they were that good.

It's not too difficult. I would test out the paint you intend to use on some TRKs first, though.

i have one question...WHY ?

edge spots are sexy, no?

Perfect crap chips to experiment on.

edge spots are sexy, no?

yes they are, so are big tits

but i am not going to perform breast augmentation on my girlfriends

To be fair, he's not talking about chip augmentation, he's talking about painting them. So, how would you feel about painting bigger tits on your girlfriend?

 

[BGinGA]

If it was permanent paint that could not be removed without destroying the underlying breasts, probably not.

good point...i would not paint any on them because i dont think they would look bigger they would just look like tits with paint on them and i dont like the taste of paint while motorboating

maybe hiring a professional tit painter would be the better idea ...or a plastic surgeon for the real thing.


oh and welcome to PCF chkmte, this is the best place (thechipboard is super good also) on the net to learn everything there is about poker chips and have some fun while your at it !

You get what you pay for...

Spoiler: NSFW

Well I certainly didn't think "motorboating" would come up within this thread, but we've done it. My day is complete.
