Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2007 5:30 pm
sorry about the links i tried to embed the pics in this post but alas i am at a loss.
i wanted to paint the interior of the buddy since i firts realized that the "brown interior" wasn't really that brown. i found a kryon fusion spray paint that has some "no slip" type of texture to it, it also has flecks of copper to give it a shimmer. i originally got it to paint my helmet, and it was so forgiving because of the texture that i decided that i could paint the interior myself (usually i have runs everywhere) i think it turned out quite nicely

http://picasaweb.google.com/orangebuddy ... 5412312242 you can sort of see the sparkle from the copper in the paint in this one, also with the vent unpainted looks kinda like a smiley face

http://picasaweb.google.com/orangebuddy ... 2462639250 there are a couple of spots that i wasn't able to paint just yet.
i am considering doing a brown out, basically painting everything that isn't orange brown chrome pieces and all.
with the new paint come a new name, the "brown hornet" (remember him from the fat albert show back in the day?)
