If those are the conditions of a painted item, then it was simply not painted correctly.mjmjr25 wrote:Others might look nice in pics, but there are drips, runs, etc when up close. Paint chips down the road, paint feels sticky, etc. I've done a few myself, and bought quite a few that looked "great" in pics, but were not.

Obviously. A very few folks paint correctly due to lack of know how, impatience for prep work, or in most cases, no access to proper painting conditions.Ziggy587 wrote:If those are the conditions of a painted item, then it was simply not painted correctly.mjmjr25 wrote:Others might look nice in pics, but there are drips, runs, etc when up close.

Point was that a lot of folks paint stuff and it looks really great in pics and then seen up close, it is not the case.

Well I can assure you, that is not the case with the pictures I posted links to.mjmjr25 wrote:Point was that a lot of folks paint stuff and it looks really great in pics and then seen up close, it is not the case.
Again, I highly recommend Krylon Fusion. It's the best spray paint you can use for a simple paint job. zoki64 has done some amazing paint jobs, some of the best I've ever seen on the internet. There's no denying that. But that process is a lot more involved, and definitely not for some one that has never painted before.

It's too bad most of budsmoka's photos are all gone. They were classic. Maybe even Hen Rygrik gained some new knowledge from them.BRIK wrote:Paint a pot leaf on it.
