Father's Day paint

 I have one of those dads who is really difficult to shop for. He has very plain tastes, doesn't really collect anything. His current hobby is watching his bee hive. That's right - sitting in a chair and watching the bees fly in and out of their hive. I can't explain what interests him, but it led me to make him this custom t-shirt.

Of course, a t-shirt isn't much of of a gift but that was really more of a token. His real gift was a project we'd talked about a couple of weeks ago. My parents have a spring horse that they keep for the kids they babysit. It gets a lot of use and thus has been looking a bit worn recently.

 

we'd taken to calling it "Old Paint"

I gave it a good scrub to clear of the mud, moss, and any loose paint. For the new paint, I used Rust-oleum multi-surface spray paint. Once the paint has cured for a full 24 hours, it will get a layer of clear coat spray.

 

I wanted to call this new version "Wet Paint" but I've been outvoted
