nahh, didn't do that. Just threw it on the garage floor, grabbed a can of red spray paint, and made er red. I did put some silver window trim on with the airbrush. The tip keeps plugging up. I've tried thinning the paint, using more/less psi, more/less paint flow... it's good for about 30 seconds, then there's barely any spray. Maybe I just figured out why it was only $30.
