This is the first coat of primer after sanding. One more coat then more sanding and I will be ready for final paint. I will also be adding some fake panels on the end and back side.

From photobucket you want to copy and paste the "IMG" code not the "HTML" code.

So ..

Aaaaand, dang dude, wow that looks nice. Good work so far!

Thanks so much on the comment and how to add the pics. I have been trying to figure that one out now for a while..

Whoa! That would look so key if you painted it white...pretty please!?

If the rest of the build is of the same quality this will be one to watch!

I feel the pressure now:lol:

White ties into my kitchen very well and if I go white I will be trimming the top of the stand with 1" maple tight to the tank (same as the kitchen cabinets) I am not sure if white is the right color though, a big white stand may be too much - I'm not sure, another consideration is charcoal.

Suggestions anyone?

Very nice job on the stand, as for color, Rustoleum makes a texture paint that comes in a couple different colors, would make it look like granite, close to the charcoal you are thinking.

Thank you,


The texture paint is not my thing. The last time I used it if I remember correct it is a rough surface that tends to flake off. I am looking for a smooth painted surface just debating on the final color.:wink:

Here is a pic of a stand from one of the members here, this was one of my inspirations:idea:

I like the color.
