Painting Continues...

This weekend I had some free time to start painting the brass colored parts. I unfortunately ordered too little paint to cover all the parts I had, so I made it stretch as far as possible and tried to get at least a middle-weight coat on all the parts.

The metallic paint was a lot different to work with than the red though. I don't think it's meant to be applied directly to sealer so it ran a bit. However, after evening out the coats the parts had a kind of oxidized look which came out pretty cool.

I've got more paint on the way, but I'm actually feeling a bit sick so the next few days will be a nice break. It's starting to get cooler, though, so the pressure is on to finish now.
