I am making a special Christmas gift to a friend.

I need to paint a solid opject to look like Kyrptonite.

On this forum, with its WIDE range of talents, I figured there would be SOMEONE who knew how to do this.

I am thinking a white base, with kelly green "runs" from bottom to top (by painting it inverted) and a "dusting" of green overall, then a pearl green dust coating, finished by a good gloss coating on the surface. Between each coat, I plan to wet sand it to a smooth finish. This the end will look like a finely carved item (not named in case the recipient stumbles upon this) made from Kryptonite.

Will this work?
Any other options?
Ideas?
