nice job steve:tooth:

bassbuster 03-27-2007 06:00 PM

ok well the paasche single action wasnt to bad do you guy
do wet on wet paint when making the plug 2 diffrent colors of set it to dry inbetween?
i painted 2 plugs tonight 2 coats of createx on each and have the hanging now.
looks ok i guess there just small poppers.

hunan 03-27-2007 09:16 PM

wait for each coat to dry.

bassbuster 03-30-2007 11:43 PM

well gave it a shot and i'm thinking i need to go shop around for some enamel paint.
cause the opaque type is looking quite dull but i havent clear coated yet.

Tagger 03-31-2007 08:32 AM
