G'Day,

what a pain that would be !!
I have had success using Tamiya Polycarbonate rattle can paint over both
Faskolor and Pactra acrylics.
I haven't tried anything else because it works for me ;-)

I have a number of bodies to paint but can't get the creative side of the
brain working. Anyone know a remedy for that ;-)

Regards,
Brad.

Have to say, isn't it your fault for mixing paints from different
manufacturers ? Why did you get Pactra, knowing you had already used Parma
.... IMHO and based on experience, both manufacturers are good .. ;)

That's actually a fake to keep spam away, but it's close enough ;)

And I have 5 gallons of homebrew almost ready to bottle. Should be
more than enough to cause lots of "interesting" paint jobs ;) I'll
stay sober for the Lotus Sport Elise I picked up tonight, though.
Gonna try some ideas I have floating around in my brain.

So Bubba, that's not you on the beer.com webpage?
I was wondering how you had the time to maintain the
beer.com site and also feeding your RC appetite.

Hey did you get my money order yet?
Let me know.
John

Nope, not me. I should probably change that since some poor guy is
doubtless getting a ton of spam because of me ;)

>Hey did you get my money order yet?

I'm not sure. I'll have to ask my wife. She had already gotten the
mail and has already passed out for the night.

Aside from that, I don't like those drinks with the stimulant additives.
If you can't handle being awake, don't force your body to do so ;-)

I think I will have to pass on the beer too. I'm not allowed to drink these
days....damned shame that, I used to enjoy it so much !

What I hate is copying someone else's ideas.
Not to worry, I have 10 days off work at the moment, so maybe I can come up
with something while I am sitting around twiddling my thumbs.

Thanks guys,
Brad.
