Well I'm on yet another project. I may have to quit my day job. LOL

Anyway, I'm not going to reveal everything just yet. I have a bit of work to do yet, and paint. I'll show the before pic, A hint of what it in tales, then I'll post the finished project (likely within a week).

(btw dont quit your day job the economy is CRAP you will regret it. Wouldn't it just be nice if it WAS your day job. Like to work at a marina or something and love going to work everyday instead of working in a friggin office sitting on your butt in front of a pc all day!?!?!?!)

Thanks,,, actually I was joking,, this is my day job. LOL It doesn't pay so well but it gives me a little play $$ (basically just to get more stuff so I can make more stuff.) LOL

Thanks everyone.... I just got back from Home Depot with the paint... This is going to be sooooooo cool,, if it comes out the way I see it in my head...

Quick teaser.... I'm basically done with paint!!! It's just drying now. It came out exactly how I had pictured. Now I just have to figure out how to do the cut-outs. I want them noticeable but not distracting. ( A light bulb just lit above my head!)

Okay,, I'll have finished pics in the next couple days.

Here is a quick shot of the paint job...
(it's much more "black" in person. Look at the spray cans
behind the piece painted. You can see how much the flash
lit those up... It did the same to the brown under paint. You get the basic idea though,, just more black in person)
