Buy the createx water-based paint....more selection of color and easier to change colors/clean up!

Charrette also sells createx paints and has other waterbased brands. they also sell the auto colors, including metalics. Charrette has the big size bottles also. Michaels also has some createx paints.
You can blend colors using the waterbased acrylics by overspraying wet paint with another color.

Sounds like another addiction coming on.

I've already started and made a few......also made lots of mistakes. Thought I had my process down....until yesterday. Turned 4 nice shapes and screwed up the thru hole drilling. Skipped using the jig I made and it cost me....
Cannot take shortcuts that's for sure.
Here are a couple of my firsts.

Kind of plain and boring but I was trying to get the process down to see what to expect and try to learn as I go....and I learned a lot I tell ya.

Nice job. Lots of ways to screw up as I am finding out now.
