yeah about 7 hours of actual labor taking my time. I did let my painted pieces sit overnight though. If I remeber correctly, I think I used the krylon fusion rattle can, it bonds with the plastic.

Wow, makes me want to do that real bad. Red, down in the south we can just sit our lights in the sun and they will reach 200 degrees.

Those look fantastic.

Possible, but unlikely. LOL....

I was. But I've actually used it a few times and thinking of keeping it.

I'll try and snap a few pics of it. Can I even post them yet with as few posts as I've got?
