Annoyed with myself

patgundWent to paint the details on the TIE helmet for my costume tonight. And discovered that I really shouldn't go near a spray can......
In a nutshell, I screwed up on it. And parts look like crap. The paint pooled up under the tape, and the lightest painters tape available *did* pull up parts of the previous paint job. It may need to be stripped and redone - and I have a contact allergy to most solvents. My hands are already peeling from the acitone I used to clean up one mistake. Which means I need to bribe or hire someone willing to strip and repaint it for me.
***NOT*** a happy camper.
