It's the best article I've seen on the subject. All of the points were carefully thought out. Well worth the read, thanks for pointing this one out Armand. |

I read Romon (sp?)'s Voodoo Painting article, and he essentially says NMM and TMM share many of the same techniques. You can't just slap on the metallic paint.
