I ended up doing SIX coats on mine! -dies-

lol it's routine for me to put 8-9 coats for a FBR

The most aggrevating is painting a green bait yellow....

Ugh I think painting anything yellow is aggravating! I tried doing a yellow pony once and ended up just scrapping it for a bait that was already yellow XD
Actually now that I think of it I did do a yellow pony... pink to yellow and it took almost 10 coats -dies-

My average for a FBR is three or four. That usually does the trick.

Painting ANYTHING yellow is aggravating! A few months ago Aadra310 and I were both starting a custom each, and 3 hours later I was more or less done painting and she was still applying layers to her yellow pony, lol!

OK, I believe that everyone has her partner's address now. If not, kick me or something.

The cable company came to install today while I was with my best friend getting a PFA against her ex. Well... they brought me a bad modem. I have cable (thank the gods for small miracles) but no 'net. I swear I'm just skipping over July altogether next year.

Edit: I can haz internet! Had to fix it myself. My router's being stupid. I'm thinking it may be time for a new one.

I had a small tiff with my sealer. It got all streaky for some reason, sooo. A little fixing was needed. Honestly I'm liking my custom but after seeing it for so long, I think I may be happy to see her go. She's a trouble-maker. LOL
