...........just looking back over this postabout your good work, I hone in on the third photo down..and the letter you're painting is golden color,but it seems that the color in your brush is white? Maybe it's an optical ilussion.just curious -------------------- vance galliher springfield,or http://www.vancegallihersigns.com
