• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Going to try my hand at decorative nose art

Today, the other side of the duplex Deb and I live in got equipped with central air conditioning (our side had it when we moved in 5 years ago). Well, when all was said and done, there were two pieces of sheet metal duct work left behind as scrap. 2 feet by 1.5 feet maybe. I am going to cut the sheet metal into shape of panels from a bomber (not sure which ones yet) and ATTEMPT to paint some nose art onto the sheet metal. If they turn out halfway decently, I will hang them on my office/sim room walls as decoration. If they come out like the flowers I painted on Deb's plant stand....they will go where they were originally headed...the trash. I can't paint flowers..not sure if I can paint nose art or not. Will find out soon enough I suppose.

either use a self-etching primer to paint over as a base, or wipe down the metal with vinegar first. the galvanizing on the metal resists the adhesion of the paint.
