it does look nice though.. it looks really nice. i like it.. but i wouldn't buy it for that money..

on a side note.. do alot of people mod airbrush their ota? Something i've kinda thought about.. and not necissarily to paint something astronomy related.. but something like else.. more related to me.. to make it more.. 'individual'.

El,

I have never seen a custom painted OTA. Not even in magazines! Gee we must be a boring lot!!

I have custom painted almost every motorcycle I have ever had (approx 60) and 2 of my 3 hot rods years ago. And even I haven't custom painted my own OTA.

Dunno why, just haven't. Weird huh!!

Might be a business idea there

BD.. i will be contacting u shortly in regards to my royalties

i guess the only bad thing about having a custom paint job is that noone will be able to admire it in the dark.. but it'd be a hit at dusk at star parties and stuff.

You could always use luminous paint. There's a couple of guy's in this forum that doe's air-brushing. I think Mick Pinner is one? And me....Iv'e been threatening to do it for year's, just aint got around to it. Maybe one day....or maybe not.
