Splatter Paint?




Anytime I've done drywall repair I use this texture paint.
It sprays with random splatters and helps to hide uneven drywall patches.
Mentioned in earlier rocket builds - flat paint can help hide rough surfaces.

It always reminds me of a bad can of Rusto 2X Gloss White. Note the can says "orange peel". 
Not recommended as a model rocket finish.  
Why would I bring this up on a rocket building blog?

Building model rockets has given me confidence, taught me project planning and patience. Filling, sanding to surface, priming and paint. 
I would think hobbyists can read a ruler better than most!

I removed a large mirror from my master bathroom. Because I work alone and it was heavy, the mirror was cut into thirds. Look close - that diamond wheel on my ancient Dremel tool is red hot!




Here's the nearly finished project - 

Drywall repair, measuring, leveling and centering
the mirrors. I still have to mask off the mirrors and paint the frames a light gray.
Masking - more modeling techniques!
