Aluminium ^.^

So, I wanted to cover my wooden chair in some sort of metal, to give it more of a tinny feel, like a spitfire, of course. I thought sheet aluminium would be best; Thin, easy to work with, light.
I found the best place to get it, off caravans! So this morning, I went up and took half the entire roof off a caravan. Someone isn't going to be happy, but I certainly am! :D


It was quite badly painted as you can see, with normal paint, this will need sanding off for the spray paint to stick.
As you can see, there is a perfect, shiny side, and a more weathered, painted side. I'm having the weathered side up, as it saves me from having to buy Aluminium primer, which is expensive and difficult to get hold of here.
