Groovy man

Check this out. http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folder...t/swirlpnt.htm

50 years ago, Pflueger painted plugs this way. It is suprisingly easy. Float a few drops of Testor paint on a dish of water, dip, and enjoy. This was an old ballerina clone I experimented with. I've still got some kinks to work out (namely the colors need to be thinned to the same bouyancy) but the possibilities look exciting and I thought some of you might want to give it a try.

Now THAT is way beyond pissa! I tried a similar stunt with my Harley tanks back in the 70's. Didn't even come close to that. Too big to control. I'd forgotten all about that technique! Thanks NS!

Add that to all the $$ you've saved by making your own plugs and you'll be able to afford to retire

if you blast a plug with multiple layers of rattle cans, you can get a great marbilization. try white and then a splash of black.. the trick is to put so much paint on that you have to rotate the plug to keep it from drippng off. Very psychodelic.

Like Dave did


The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
