Hey thanks for all of the kind words. I really enjoy using pearl powders in my paint and it is hard to tell from some pics but when the sun hits that pearl that pump GLOWS. I bought the globe and vinyl skelly items from Vics then saw a sign for sale on e-bay that showed the fortefied premium logo so I printed a copy and asked a sign shop in town to make vinyl letters shaped like the sign.
I actually made a small mistake and put blue pearl over the top of the red and blue decals and unless the sun is shining right on the pump the red has a purple tint to it. Note to self put decals on top of blue pearl not under.
Currently working on another Aqua System pump that is going to be faded a beautiful pearl red over black with water release signal decals buried under four coats of clear. Should be nice. I'll show some pictures if I can ever get it done.
Maybe I'm crazy but I like to paint the globe bodies the same color as the pump too. Just would not be the same with a dull blue plastic body would it?
