What type paint to color brass tubes, acrylic or enamel?
Thanks for the assistance.
Thanks for the assistance.
Come on, live a little. I have a box of gloves sitting right there, but I live an adventurous life and just hold the thing in my bare hands and spray. Then I tell myself how stupid that was and promise myself not to do it again. And guess what?:biggrin:Rather than wearing gloves when painting the tubes and the inside of blanks, I simply clamp the blanks in a hand-help spring clamp. I hold the clamp and blank in a trash barrel and give it a few sprays at each end. No muss to paint on my hands and I just squeeze the clamp and release the blank onto my drying rack. To paint the tubes, I slip them onto the prongs of a cheap Turkey lifter fork and give them a spray. All told, it takes me about 60 seconds to paint both the tube and the inside of the blank.
