Thumbs up

My scorp is painted the same colors except my green is darker and I painted the interior pan a flat tan color. I painted the inside first then masked it off. Next I sprayed everything green and masked over all of the green areas and left the tubes exposed, got a really nice sharp paint edge this way. Lastly I painted the tubes flat black and then removed all of the tape. Looks awesome. Always remember when painting spray your lite colors first and then your darker ones, that way you dont change the shade of the lighter colors by aplying them over darks. Also I used all flat primer colors that way they dry faster and if you scratch it you're not out a bunch of time trying to match a gloss finish. Sorry to be so long winded but I hope this helps some of you all out. Later, Mike P.S. your scorp looks awesome.
