Spray Booth: Operational

So I did it. Finally. I was having an off night where I didn't feel like going out and I said to myself, "Shit, might as well test out this spray booth."

I didn't want to break out the airbrush quite yet and I had a shit on pre-primed Custom GM pieces, so I said, "Let's do this." In the above picture you can see my progression from too much paint to an attempt at hand brushing to finally watching a couple YouTube videos and figuring out the "short quick bursts" of paint technique from Vegeta8259.

I got through a few more pieces and then decided while the others were drying that I would try using the 'Mica Silver' on the frame. It looks rad and I can't wait to finish up the rest of the pieces. This was the Custom GM I blogged about a while ago, and I can't wait to get it put together and do some cool white accents on this thing.

Tomorrow I am required to do some freelancing and repairing a damaged Macbook. Hopefully I can get all of this out of the way quickly so I can get back to painting. Or if I'm lucky, getting a couple quick coats of paint down and then do more work.

Life is rough, I guess. World's smallest violin is playing for me right now, I know.

Cheers,
Eric
