Oh I wasn't sure how expensive it was they come in packs with 3 different cans that you make different coats with and use together to make it finish right.

Donno...

I remember it being a lot more expensive when I was looking at it a few years ago....


Here should be all the info you need on the paint...

Doesn't get much red-neckier than KY and TN... Well, maybe bama...


But they don't sell Ammo here after 10p... Very large knives, ink pens, plungers, etc... They also wont sell ammo/beer together.

Had this problem in AR as well. Course it was handgun ammo....

speaking of buying ammo at a store like that.. wouldent it be funny if a person bought the ammo pulled out there gun right there and then loaded it.. and held up the store..

Ok... maybe only I would find that humorus tongue.gif

Yeah I want to get the Mirage paint I saw that they had it in Walmart but doesn't show up on Walmart website. Thanks for the confirmation, though. My friend Lewis(amdgeek) spends all day on Counter-Strike now.

I found the stuff at a Craft store in Oregon called Michael's Crafts...worked pretty sweet, but very expensive due to the 3 coat process...start with black undercoat (essential, be thorough), then the two-tone color (almost clear, but shiny), then the clear coat (really clear, but the important final touch).

The stuff is about $20 per 3 can set, and it took 3 sets to do my tower interior and drive bays. Pretty expensive, but I should have done the outside of my case too.

It is a Krylon product, so go here Krylon Mystique webpage to read about it...there may be other brands, but this is what I used.

Turned out great, I can post pics later this week.

It took you 3 sets? There goes that idea. I don't have 60 bucks for all that. I might try the mouse or something thou. I think I will try going to Micheals for it, they have on around here somewhere.

i wouldn't pain't a mouse, or buttons with it. it might come of after a while, and that won't look pretty.

about the guns; they won't sell them around here, but you can get beer if your chin reaches the counter tongue.gif it's much safer here without the guns, but don't make the drugs legal. once you did so, it's just like they tried with alcohol. you never get rid of it again. HOLLAND RULES (sometimes)
(I liked Houston better)
