My first painted top
« on: December 28, 2009, 09:03:25 PM »
Well I didn't know what to do with this Gates when I got it, it was really beat up and ugly so I decided to paint it. It is a Glow in the Dark with a purple splash. The Glow in the dark paint was not the best, it didn't stick really well so after I got a good enough coat I put two layers of white to make sure it sticks. It is still really smooth and looks really cool at night. I would take a pic of it glowing but my camera does not care for glow in the dark.

Very cool top.

Is that one of the "National Spin Top Contest 2000" tops?

So, those don't say "Jon Gates World Champion 2000", on the crown?
