Hello all
I've been pretty sad and depressed lately as well as feeling lost. Working at a Hospital with covid as well as the loss of a family member last year has me on the ropes as they say. No one knows Ive been felling this way.
Today was nice outside here. Low temp and low humidity and rather than just sit here like I have been doing I decided to clean up my garage. Then after that I got it in my head to repaint and slightly modify my Blade Runner blaster.
I put this together some years ago. I was never satisfied with the paint. The aluminum paint looked just like that ....paint. I also over did the weathering. So I took it apart and began repainting it. 3 hours went by and I didn't realize it. It felt good just doing something. I repainted the gun frame barrel bolt action and butt plate with chrome paint from ace hardware. It looks ten times better! It's actually reflective. Looking more like polished aluminum now. Tomorrow I will paint the other parts with semi gloss or gloss black then we will see how it looks. Still I got the workshop cleaned up and I'm happy for just that. I will add pics once the paint is dry.
