I painted my covers today...I started out without using the adhesive promoter I had bought because it seemed like I didnt need it based on what others had said. I found that on some of the edges and rounded parts the paint just didnt want to cover, so after the first coat or 2 dried I did spray on thhe promoter and then painted over it.seemed to help...tomorrow I will do the logo/letters...I havent decided whether to do the center of the logo in green or not - since I am going to do the letters and edges of the logo in black, I think I would really have to lighten up the green otherwise the black overlying the green may not stand out....

I have learned a few things:
1.spray paint does not come off your hands the way latex house paint does (if you saw my hands you would think I was jaundiced)
2.scrubbing your hands with a brillo pad does get the paint off
3.scrubbing your hands with a brillo pad is not the best thing for your skin
