WOW!!

so, i had my airbrush fell victim to a disaster,...yada yada yada.....fast forward. I used a single action $5.00 plastic brush from harbor frieght to paint with, thankfully, nothing too hard to do....( well, the body i had in competition was done with it...)

^^^ that one...

so i pick up a smokin deal on a brush/ air compressor set up to get me back where i need to be. Didnt need the compressor, but couldnt pass it up. Guy claimed it needed a "little cleaning maybe"..... :roll2:

here's what came out of the gun...

Chop that stuff up, mix in a little CA, and glue it to the front of your next race body... it'll look sorta like rubber bits.

Wow, that poor brush. Good thing it belongs to you now, and it won't be treated bad anymore.

Nice follow through on the (from concept to finish) paintjob. I've seen some people sketch what they want their body to look like and the finished product come out completely different :rolleyes:

Yeah thats some nasty airbrush gunk you yanked out of the airbrush too :eek: Kinda looks like grass and dirt :huh:

When I first saw the picture I thought you were gonna say with all the money you saved on a $5 brush you bought some green sticky stuff. :) Maybe he was smoking out of his airbrush.

I'm not sure but I think the stuff that came out of that brush sell for about $200/oz on the street.......

At least the seller told ya that it needed cleaning and not "sprays great".
