Projects have started

So, I spent $90 in materials today:

But that should take care of four big projects for the next couple of days. I'm going to keep updating this thread as I get them stated and finished.

I chose the easiest to do first, especially since I didn't get started today until around 5.

Pulled the tips off and cleaned them with Mineral Spirits:

Did some light sanding to scuff the surface:

Here's what I'm using: Rustoleum Engine Enamel in semigloss black. BTW, if you don't have one of these little trigger things, they are GREAT. I've had this one for about a year and it's held up well.

After a couple light coats:

Tonight I'll start prepping the badges and hopefully spray tomorrow.

Jeremy if you don't have one of those trigger things, with as much as you paint, you're insane.

most of the paint I use have those "comfort" tips. I have one of those things in the garage, never used it.

I have on of those sprayers and don't like it. I have a better feel for spraying without it...

I like the way this one works. I didn't think I would like it because I figured it wouldn't hug the can very well...it does. It's actually a bit of a pain to pull the can back out, you kind of have to twist.

Here's a small update:
