Talking Re: ProwlerGT's 3000GT Revival Thread - Start Up

Painting footnote: NEVER SPRAY PAINT INTO A THIN PLASTIC CONTAINER AND THEN COVER TO SEAL FROM AIR WITH MASKING TAPE. Apparently at least the DupliColor Annodized Metalcast coloring is HIGHLY HIGHLY TOXIC enough to melt some thin plastics. I had come up with an idea (which didn't work) to fill in the diamonds on the center caps by dropping the paint into them with a dropper and so I plugged a plastic container (the kind that come with pepto bismol) with tape on top and before I knew it about 5 minutes later the paint had chemically burned through the container onto my mom's plastic (with cloth backing) table cloth..... THEN it started to eat the table cloth ! I'm definitely following the respirator guidelines from now on especially now since I've seen what it can do to physical objects. I guess the whole key here is to have AIR to the paint at all times..... but man... I totally didn't expect that shit. Now my mom's table cloth has a big wrinkled up (from the burn) white spot on it from me rubbing it out with paint remover. Mom's not home yet..... lol. We'll see what goes down. I'm just lucky that the other day she'd cut the table cloth in half because half of it was really worn out so the hell that breaks loose shouldn't be too bad. lol
