    I would do that except that I am actually pretty terrible at painting. I'm better with a paint roller than a spray can lol. But it is always better to use someone else as a Guiana pig.

    ^^ LOL, I was thinking "Ok, cool before pics. Lemme scroll down and see the afters". Then I saw it...

    Anyhoo, Sticksmith, what method did you end up using to paint it? Roller or brush? Did you take the leap and give the spraypaint a go?

    Nice work, BTW. Looks good. Can't wait to see what comes next.
