My copper Valve is so close to completion. This is try number 4 or 5. Lol. Thing went wrong with earlier paint jobs and the only thing I know to truly fix a problem is to start over. There are many flaws with this one, as with all my projects thus far. All I can say is I'll get better. This copper frame is just waiting for new lenses to arrive in the mail.

Much Mahalo guys. Hopefully I can keep practicing and get better at painting too. My next project is almost ready.

Aloha OR. This is a Valve 1.0 that started as a beater blue FMJ pair. When stripping off the old paint I found that the hinge piece was clear. So I then made plans to take advantage of that fortunate accident. I sprayed this in Silver which I thought was going to be brighter than what it looked like in the end. I think my use of clear on a metallic paint actually dulled it a little. Even spraying a heavy glossy clear didn't bring that original brightness back. I'm not very good with painting, and in all honesty, this is the first full frame that I'm actually proud enough to show. So this is painted frame number 1 from Lopaka.
