| When you get a soaker that is lime green
and purple like my CPS 2700 or SC Triple Charger one normally puts up with
the color for maybe a month or so and then you start using sharpie markers
to accent the "nice" colors. But normally that's not enough. So
you go to Ace or what ever hardware store you like and get some chromes
and greens and black. Then you just start spraying stuff on. DO NOT make
this mistake! The first thing you should do is sand the body of the soaker
lightly with 200 grit sand paper. the next step is too lightly spray 3-4
coats of primer on. let it sit for at least 24 hours. Then sand out any
bubbles in the primer and mask off the parts of the soaker you don't want
have painted (or if you want that part a different color.) Also mask off
any parts other parts that shouldn't get painted (i.e. the SC refill
Nozzle). Now you can paint. MAKE SURE you have a well ventilated
area (like outside) Put down some sheets of news paper so what ever is on
the ground doesn't get stuck to the paint. Now holding the can 8 to 10
inches from the soaker do a back and forth sweeping motion. It is better
to have several light coats instead of having one thick coat. Let
it dry for at least 48 hours before using it. also put a clear coat on 24
hours after painting (any earlier the paint will crack. I hope this helps!
