Great job on the handle . I am so jealous, your paint comes out nice and glossy. My paint job is crappy at best

. Maybe its the moisture.. or maybe its me.. or maybe its the paint

You have become a compulsive hardware and tools shopper

Its more or less the same with me. I now have more paint cans than I will ever need or use

.

EDIT: Surprising that no one replied to you post after 7 hours of it being posted. Looks like everybody is on vacation.

Nice work Rustler. Glad that the handle worked out. Would've been nasty if it were hollow

.
I must admit paint looks great really shiny

Thanks

Well, if youre doing that speed-painting technique and everything else is the same (paint brand, temps, etc) the only thing I can think of is maybe youre not shaking the cans enough before and during painting, and I dont know your spray technique, so its hard to say.

Thanks. Yeah I was fairly certain the handle was solid just based on its weight, but that could have been epic fail if it were hollow

Well in all fairness the pics are snapped soon after the last coat is applied so that shininess is a bit deceiving. After the clear coat has time to "sit down" for a while, it looses a bit of its glossy luster which is actually a good thing in this instance, because I dont want it as glossy as it looks when its first painted and cleared

Ill snap a pic later so you can see the difference, when its had some time to dry

Epic win? On the case mod, or on the handle? I can easily answer yes to either.

Good eye wasted. I am myself presently on vacation at my parents' house. While yes, I do have a computer and internet with me, I am only on OCN about 10 minutes a day rather than my usual 16 hours.

Thus, every time I turn to this thread now, it is like Christmas: new update to unwrap every time I open it! *Chuckles*
