Your paint looks like it matches great. Keep the pics coming even if they are little skewed from the stein project. Always good information.  |
Yes, Tiger Stripes!!! I forgot about that issue. I didn't have that problem on this, but I have run into that before. I was using my smaller gun that has a small fan pattern so I had to do many passes. I was also trying to not have to do so many passes (hurrying) so I was not doing a good overlap on the previous pass. Oh man, talk about stripes! It would have been really funny if I wasn't so mad at myself.
