after hours of cursing, torrential rains, and lasagne...

I present my newly painted Tac-8:




I know I'm no photographer, but the pictures don't do it justice. It's freakin' beautiful.
There are probably 7 or 8 coats of desert tan and 3ish coats of automotive clear coat. It was so thick that I had a little trouble getting the barrel back in after it was all dry today!!
For my first real crack at a good paintjob (believe me, all my previous work is pretty crappy compared to this), I feel like I actually accomplished something.
Now, the kicker.
Tomorrow she'll be shipped out to her new owner, Paintballa from T8OG. In return I'll be getting a nicely tricked T9, but I do kinda hate to let this little piece of work go!
Oh well, onward and upward!
