Now that we have all the components it is time to paint them. First we'll apply base coats using spray paints and then do some detail painting.

First, if you haven't done it already, sand all the pieces with very fine steel wool. Then clean the dust off the surfaces.

Then lay out all the pieces you wish to paint on newspaper. Apply a coat of spray primer making sure that the pieces are completely coated. Once dry flip the pieces over and spray any uncoated areas. The primer will help cover imperfections and allow the paint to better adhere to the surfaces.

Once the primer is applied and dry, spary paint the various pieces the appropriate color. In my case the egg was painted gloss black. Satan, the base and trim work were painted silver. Make sure that you get the pieces covered completely.

I'm cheap and like to use what I have on hand and I really enjoy taking things apart to salvage parts. This, the use of epoxy and the Dremel are the only sources of consistancy among my projects.
