So my bro was doing offstring with a whip,(don’t ask) and he dropped it. Broke the bearing seat and bent the axle. I have been wanting to try yoyo painting for a while, and this seemed like a suitable test subject. So, I started it, and now i’m waiting for the paint to dry before i mask and add a second coat. If someone could teach me how to post images, that’d be great, so i could show you some “before” pics. Cheers! Sean UPDATE: The halves are painted now, and now I have to let them cure for a few days before I use them. pics can be found in this album: [Photo Storage](http://s1048.photobucket.com/albums/s367/asovietlocust/) ---

What you do is find and image hosting site, I use photobucket, and upload your image there. You then do this without the italics [img]Put the image location here[/img] ---

I got double-ninja’d while writing this, so if its repetitive sorry: To insert an image into a post here, first of all you have to have your picture(s) hosted somewhere on the web (a site like photobucket, flickr, even google+). Then, when you create your post, below the italicize button there is a button that says insert image. Click on it and it will bring up this: Copy the url of a picture you want to post and insert it in between the brackets. Then you should be set to post pictures! Hope this helps ---
