Nice work and a good tip for some I am sure.

Did you use Striped paint" to get the multi color effect? Do your local stores stock it?
(I mean the Blue and the white)

I am not sure what you mean by "Striped paint". I was improvising. I need to be creative with this hobbie in RD.

Basically I painted the whole thing in white, later on, I covered the white with paper and masking tape and then , sprayed in blue. Same for the stripe.

And yes we store the white, but the blue was mixed to match the monokote.

The whole packed cost me less than 5 Dollars including the moskito thing.

Good job, never thought that could spray paint. We had a few of those mosquito sprayers back in Guyana when I was a kid. Lol it use to be war with the mosquito and Bagone spray, nasty stuff but killed them instantly. Yes folks we used hand pump sprayers back in the day. No pressing a button and puff, you had to work to kill those little critters.

It's the latest in High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) painting equipment. Gotta love the resourcefulness this hobby generates.
