The songs in the video are from the League of Legends soundtrack
Song 1 - Tales of the Rift
Song 2 - Challenger

The oil paint I'm using in the video is from a small set of 12. You can get them from any art store. Brand does not matter, you are just painting armor not a Van Gough

I primed this armor with about 6 -8 layers of woodglue and then use Rustoleum's Metallic gold spraypaint as my base coat.



The armor I demonstrated on in this video was for my Kayle cosplay.

The armor was made from a combination of EVA foam and Thermoplastic. if you would like to see the final product or progress photos of that costume here are the links tot he albumbs
