(which are a b*tch!)
here's a 3 I recently started...
Nice Scott! Your trim work is awesome. That blank looks clean as a whistle. Love the base color as well. It's great to see you painting again.
Chris, Scott's advice is right on, though I would recommend that you give the blanks a once over with fine steel wool before painting. It's not necessary to do, but it takes but a min, and it does help the paint bond to the plastic better.
