Well this was my frist trip to one of these before...
So I walk into this mamoth of a building in search of two things....Jasco Paint stripper and a Scrubby brush (Thanks Wookie). Since this was my first time, I was totally lost and every employee I wanted to ask for help was helping other customers.. So I took the adventure on my own. Walking by aisle upon aisle of tools, home decor, fastners, and my fav on the adventure...the PVC tube aisle. I think I sat there for a good 10 minutes looking at all the connectors and pipes thinking "what could I build from this stuff". The reality sets back in and I am on my way to find the paint stripper and scrubby brush. I have finally found the paint aisle, the paint stripper, and the brush. So I proceed on my way and pass by the tools again...a nice cordless drill has caught my eye....UH OH! So of course being a guy, We have to look at this kinda stuff. Looks nice, seems to be what I could use, but I am not here for a drill....but it is so nice.... and powerfull..... OK Time to find what I really came here for. So back to searching for the paint department, tah DAH! way in the back. Found my Paint stipper, and brush. Only the Jasco is like $9 for a big jug of it which I don't need. I cheaped out and pick up a $5.39 can of Klean-Strip (which BTW worked awsome). So then I start walking towards the front of the store only to realize I have no paint to re-spray the A5 with after stripping it clean. So I turn around go back to find OD green, closest they have was Army Green which was Gloss instead of Flat, Not going to cut it I said. So off to the Check-Out I go, only this time, I avoid the tools because I know I will walk out with a new drill....
So now I am here at home stripping the paint off the A5 shells and prepping it for a nice FRESH coat of paint....no more flaking and peeling here:D
