I'm repainting it right now. ZERO HOUR.
1/24/2008
ZERO HOUR, The SHIT HAS HIT THE FAN. FUCK IT ALL.
Well, I just plain FUCKED UP. I pretty much had my moneygrip PERFECT and it LOOKED GREAT. I proceeded to continue as planned, to coat it with clear orange and it completely turned out 100% wrong. The colors were all wrong- silver turned into gold, not orange and dark grey turned into chocolate brown. I initially thought, fuck it and decided to bring it in, but when I took it out of the box at the office I couldn't get over how bad it looked to me. I decided to take it home and deliver it on the day of the show, TOMORROW MORNING, and fix it ASAP. I tried to sand off the clear orange in hopes of having the original silver and grey. I knew there were risks and I would have to touch up some of the flaws but sanding was not working. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. I emptied a gallon of acetone and dunked the moneygrip in it to take the paint off. Yeah, I basically flushed two weeks of layout and work down the toilet in five minutes.

Wow! Based on what I saw at the show, your final entry looks great! I'm glad you were able to fix it to your satisfaction. I ended up repainting the fist section on mine because I wasn't happy initially with the brush strokes from the thick cel paint i used. If you have any pictures from your earlier efforts I'd love to check 'em out!
