Paint Appearance (How would that look?)

After getting some Mantic stuff and not knowing what to do with the sprues they came on and reading that it's best to hold onto them I found out a use for some. Recently got a Reaper triad of color and wanted to see the subtle differences in color. Viola, or as my friend would say Wualah! Paint up the sprues. This gave me a lot better idea how a color would look on a mini rather than just looking at it in the bottle. I have added a drop of color to the cap of each bottle lid already, which helps to identify what is what also.

Did you prime the sprue first too?

You can make gold bars from sprues.

Do I come across as being that dumb? Yes, I did prime the sprue...
