I read some pple's threads where they have painted the base of the tank with a textured paint to resemble sand, so that a BB is a bit more attractive.
I gave this a try, but it didn't really work. I turned the tank upside down, so I could paint the exterior surface of the tank's floor. Looking at it from that view, when the job was finished, I had a nice textured look.
Put the tank upright & what I see now is just smooth. Seems the paint I chose only shows the textured surface when viewing on the surface that you actually paint. So to have seen the texture, it would mean painting on the interior surface of the tank, which I don't think is how everyone else did it.
What's the tip? What did I do wrong?
