You used brush paint on them Robbie? Nothing wrong with that, but it reminds me of my dad telling me about the first car he ever owned. He bought a 1951 chevy from a friend for next to nothing. I believe he said it was green but the paint was very rough & faded. So he got out a can of yellow house paint & gave her a fresh coat. :) Only paint job he could afford. Steve
