I used acrylic paint that kind of looked a little neonish. (99 cents) I'm gonna try to writeup a DIY on how I did it once I get home from work.

Joanne fabrics. I went all the way to Franks at the brickyard only to find out half the frickin' stores closed down. So annoying. You can get the paint at any craft store pretty much.

If it does happen i think its going to be an only SE:C members thing only. If not i think non members are going to charge more. To many people take advantage of us at our install meets.
