The *Correct* Way to Open a Can of Testors Spray Paint

[Grey One]

Thanks! Big Time to Jim (BNSF7173) and Testors for giving me a 2nd chance with spray paint. Jim was kind enough, (after I punctured a can),
See Previous Thread (http://www.trainboard.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi/ubb/get_topic/f/13/t/002600.html?)
to send me _two_ cans of:
Model Master
Custom Laquer System
This is the Flame Red

Yes, I can learn from my mistakes

The "box" as you last saw it.

This time I read the instructions, (and followed them right down to using my thumbnail)

Steve:

You're an accident waiting to happen. :D


Stay cool and run steam.... graemlins/cool.gif :cool: :cool:

Steve-

I am rooting for you. Did you notify the turpentine section of Home Depot that you were giving it another try and that they can expect the paint EMT's momentarily.

[Hytec]

Steve, how much did you have to pay your brother/cousin/friend (choose one) to paint the caboose and have his hand photographed twice???? :D :D :D :D

It's admirable that you, an "old dog" can learn a new trick... graemlins/notworthy.gif

[Grey One]

Boxcabe: Shhhh, not before my interview, (tommorrow at 11:00).

Bob: It's a feature

Mark: Na, I just checked with my neighbor, (one of Boston's finest), to see if he still had some in case he caught me red handed again.

Hank: You don't want to know.

The Hardest Part so far has been trying to re-assemble it. It has been ages since I used AC glue and I'm a bit intimidated. Maybe I'll try over the weekend.

[BNSF7173]

Lookin good Steve! Good luck with your interview.

[Grey One]

Thanks Jim,
If I get the job I'll be trying my hand at cars for the GandG paint scheme as in my sig. Any guesses what color greys? I won't hold you responsible if they are wrong.
Thanks!

[BNSF7173]

Steve, your in luck! I remember railfaning the G&G when I lived in NH. I happened to have my Floquil chips with me and found that the Grey on the G&G was a match for Guilford gray! Seems Guilford had a bunch of paint left over from Du-Pont and could not afford to paint any more engines. The G&G railroad ever the New England Yankee, scooped up the paint a bargain basement prices! :D :D

Sounds good don't it? Its only fiction if you don't do it :D

Steve:

Hope your interview goes well.

Make sure there's no "blood" on your hands.


Stay cool and run steam...... graemlins/cool.gif :cool: :cool:

[okane]

Good Luck on the interview Steve.

[Pete Nolan]

Good luck, Steve!

[Fotheringill]

I truly wish you good luck.

[Grey One]

Bot, Owen, Pete, Mark - Thanks for your wishes.
Mark - ever hear of Brown Rudnick?

[Bayaar]

Good Luck on your interview!! Wear GREEN.....

Lon

[Grey One]

Thanks Lon. I have competition so I just don't know how it might go.

[Bayaar]

Make sure you don't go into the interview with red on your nails!!!


Lon

[Fotheringill]

Use something muted so the interviewer doesn't think you are "easy".

[Fotheringill]

Never heard of them until I Googled the name.

//Note to self - No painting on day befor intervew.
Hmm, wait, I already violated that and believe I got a 2nd interveiw. You are tempting fate. Gotta love walking on thin ice. < insert sound of cracking ice >.

[Grey One]

Hmmm, If she googled me (and I am sure she did) then:

First entry: http://www.railimages.com/gallery/stevegoodenough

She showed no surprise that I was into model trains.

The question is did she look at all of the images:

By the way, ironically one of the firms focuses is: IP - Intellectual Property. Hmmm.

[Tom Hynds]

Maybe she's got a sense of humor?

[Hytec]

Steve, Sunesty looks like a lovely person. But her attire appears a little drab. What if you suggested some color accents...perhaps Red??? :eek: :D :D :D

[Grey One]

Hytec - < bemused bad boy grin > - Would you believe that and other dress just like it was all she ever wore? Yes really.

We are no longer a pair. graemlins/shakehead.gif
