AWESOME job on the bucket there! I think you're doing a fantastic job.
I hear you all about the dreaded "finding the right place to paint"! I can't paint inside the house... Can't paint in the garage (no space)
So, I paint in the backyard (being careful and watching that I don't hit the house.) or I paint in the front yard. However, painting in the front yard is an interesting concept. I paint out there because it receives full sun most of the day.
But, when it comes to painting certain items (blasters) Watch when you do it. I've had a mail carrier see me and ask if the gun I was working on (Biker Scout Blaster Pistol & also my DL-44) were real. I can understand their point of view, but I'm also thinking to myself, since when have you EVER seen a gun that splits in half down the middle?
Sorry for hi-jacking the thread... just felt the need to share my expireneces!
