Color Red

I get home today a little earlier than normal. Things are looking good... I can foresee some decent progress being done on the Stompa. I am excited.

I prep my garage by turning on the ceiling fan, then the door light, then my "painting" light.

My Painting light is one of those industrial shop type lights. I bounce it off the ceiling and it does a pretty good job. I am no professional here...

I gather some paints and move to the table and my stool.

Taking brush in hand I dip into my Mechrite Red and begin painting my Stompa. I get down to just the back panel and what do I discover... The bottom of the paint pot.

The bottom of the paint pot is the most insidious thing I can imagine that can happen to a painter with time on his hands...

No worries...

I always keep extras for tragedies such as this.

I rise from my stool and make my way to my shelves to search for my backup paint pot...

Nope... Nope... Nope...

Not there...

/sigh

An entire evening set aside, approved by my lovely wife to devote to painting the Stompa... and no paint...

Can you feel my pain lol
