Kind of like that “new car smell” or “new puppy smell” or “new baby smell”?

protostars suck at grinding, and they still suck with a paint job.

How strong is that kind of paint? Does it come off by scratching it with your nail?

when I ding it on the ground, it chips. Seems a decent strength, don’'t think I can chip it with my fingernail.

As long as you like it…I say go for it. Good job.

The splash could use a few more coats…the white looks a bit opaque…and put some clear coat on it to protect it.

Why did you neglect the cups?

I wanted to see the protostar symbol, and the maverick i kinda got lazy, it was a friends, not mine. He wanted it soon, and it would take longer to do both because of the drying times
