Cut the top off of a 80 gallon air tank. Its 2' in diameter and about 13" high. Thinking about making a big butterfly and a big hummingbird to match.

pnj....just used Rustoleum rattle cans. Did it all in black first with rustoleum High Performance Black Enamel. Masked off the black dots, etc. and sprayed it with red Rustoleum Gloss Protective Enamel. Worked out real well by doing a fog/light coat of each and then a few minutes later layed on the wet coats. One time shot for both colors.

There was no magic to picking the paint. It was just some I had laying around from other small projects.

The yellow was the new rustoleum Fusion paint for plastic, metal, wood, etc. The eyebrows are actually cut up plastic toilet floats that were caulked to the steel.
