Will do! did you just get the paint at home depot? and for the dots, did you just spray it onto a cheap brush?

I got the spray from advanced auto. The way I did the splatter was I cut two plastic bottles in half and sprayed black into one and red into the other until liquid paint accumulated. I then took two old tooth brushes (one for each color) dipped them into the paint and held it over the pieces and basically dripped the paint on in several places then kinda just flicked my wrist and splattered it on there. it worked okay. I have also used brushes in the past and they do work better IMO. Hope this helps!
