That's really cool. Never thought of that.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

Of the look?  Not a fan.  Like the bone white look much better.  But it looks like you did a great job getting coverage and if that's what they wanted I bet they'll be happy.

Where this comes in real handy is when guys cap the skulls. You can mount the capped rack on a Mikes plastic skull plate, fill in the gaps, sand smooth and have dipped, making it look like a solid skull again. :tup:

This look isn't for me, but you did a very nice job of the dip itself.
