Heres a guide i wrote on caliper painting.

If you really want to do it yourself, take your time and im sure you'll be fine.

Mmmmmmmm :o

I still think you made a deal with a man with horns on his forehead and a passion for young gingers before doing that job Frayz. They just came out absolutely perfect !!!

Personally I'd rather pay a seasoned jedi to do them for me and spend the time I could have wasted doing them fisting young virgins, but then some might say I have the wrong outlook on these things !!!

:twisted: :D :roll:

Nice recovery Frayz. I had hoped that James' intervention had derailed another perfectly decent thread with his certain standard of humour.

That is a great 'How to...' guide Frayz. Can't remember if it was made a sticky, but it will be in a minute if it's not already. I'm sure that will be of interest/use to anyone tempted to have a go.

I also notice that as you've posted the guide on a number of sites that it is being touted about as excellent reading :)
