Ha, yeah I'd need a few of those as well before I ever decided to attempt to paint my own mask.
Joking aside, I think it came out awesome. Great job.

Beer was the integral cornerstone in my decision to paint.

I hope the paint stays on as well! What do you mean by "key" it? I took a pretty hard ne off the noggin yesterday morning (first skate in it) and no chips or cracks....YET!
To everybody else: thanks for the good words! I was nervous as hell I was gonna screw this up, but I think I can live with the end result.
Of all the lessons learned from my first tim painting a mask, is it will take me a LOOOOOONG time to eventually get good. There is a reason it costs $500.00 when you get one done by the pro's. This was a simple two-olor design and there were times I wanted to drop-kick it off my deck into the neighbors back yard out of frustration.
But if you do get the huevos to paint your own mask, take your time, no short-cuts-let the paint dry, be extremely patint, and have fun! I look forward to repainting my mask next year.
