Title: Painting, The devils creation....
Post by: (e) on August 30, 2003, 01:12:04 PM: Gosh Darn It.

Ive been wanting to paint my room a nice warm red color ever since I got my drums (Mahogony).

So I broke down and got some. I put some plaster stuff in the holes, put painters tape on the edges and busted open the can of paint.

Its a nice red color, perfect for matching my drums- even though it was lighter than i expected.

So I take a brush and dab it in the pan.

Suddenly it slips and i drop the brush almost halfway in. I just toss it.

I get an edge thing and start doing the edges (btw its a textured paint: granite). I get started and what do you know, the thing slips off and goes launching right into the carpet. I just look at it.

The stain isnt that big, and i got most of it out.

Next, Im painting the top of my closet border and a huge glob comes flinging at me from nowhere, I just stick my shirt out and try to catch it, but miss... luckily a sheet was there, but my shirt is stained to hell.

Ill tell you if I survive.

Any one else have this much trouble painting?

Not really to match, more like to vocalize the drums. When I have my room all set up etc. Ill try to post a picture, youll see what I mean.

BTW: second coat went on easy, I had to sleep in my brothers room cause it stank like hell. Crown Molding is going on later, and possible wood flooring.

Yeah really. It would have been much easier to paint the drums to match the room. :)

Lmfao, now their is a dumbass Idea.

They are a vintage Tama Superstar set, in a custom mahogony color. They dont make them anymore- and its god damn expensive, and to paint it white would be the dumbest thing ever. Its not like you slap on paint on it, you have to almost recreate the drum.

I might be able to get pictures after I put in the crown molding. And youll want that color too. Its really warm.

Post by: Rya on September 03, 2003, 09:53:29 PM: I had just recently painted my room. It\'s now this nice very light green color with lime borders. My mom even found a waste paper basket, lamp and drawers that match the colors perfectly. =P I\'m just waiting for a chance to get a desk before I start scraping off the paint that got on the windows.

And no...even a girl like me didn\'t have any problems painting. =D
