Yesterday was declared a non-working holiday in celebration of the Islamic religious feast, Eid'l Adha. The holiday commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Abraham to sacrifice his own son, Ishmael (or Ismail), upon the command of Allah.
So, what did I do? I decided to sacrifice my tank. Been planning on painting it flat black for the longest time but haven't had the time... Until yesterday. Of course I didn't get too far...
I just stripped paint off the top since I wasn't sure I'd be able to finish the whole thing.
Shot taken by my 3-year old son, Benny.
Bolt making sure I don't fuck up.
Paint stripper applied...
A few songs by Benny and a whole lot of scraping after and this is what I get...
I'm actually digging the bare metal look, just scared it might rust. Will probably strip the whole tank this weekend and paint it by sometime next week (right). I think I need 3 more non-working holidays.
