I almost feel bad posting all these new topics oh well

Here's how it started a little over 3 years ago now I think.


First time refinished. Almost embarassing huh? I think so.


Painted green


Taped up. Incase you're wondering, yes I did cut, draw, and do everything on the bullseye by hand and from scratch. I'm crazy, i know


Black painted on.


And unmasked for the first time


And here's how it looks today.

The phrase "to kill a mockingbird" springs to mind!!

But the black and green bullseye looks good... must have taken a lot of patience to get that masking tape neat. But it's a great feeling when you take the tape off, isn't it? What sort of paint did you use and how did you spray it - aerosol cans? Or compressor? Or brushed? I love that shade of green, it works really well with the black. It looks a little scratched now, maybe a clear laquer topcoat would have been a good idea, it would give a good gloss finish and protect your hard work (actually, it's not too late to do it now...)

Thanks you the green looks quite a bit brighter in pictures but it's still cool. It took me just about a whole evening of sitting there drawing and cutting out the stupid circles lol and this one was a while ago so it was done all just with cans of spraypaint. It does have a clear coat on it but it's been a beater for a couple years now so it'll probably stay that way until I decide (if ever ) to do it up right, maybe with a quilted maple veneer on top . I'm gonna stop before I go nuts with ideas haha.
