Well, unlike the risk in my job and technical diving where a slip up can easily cost a life, I always told myself I was going to approach this hobby with the idea that the worst thing a slip up would do is at most cost you a kit. However my same motto holds true that you can never rely on experience until shortly after you needed it.
Until 30 minutes ago, I'm not sure what was on the top five list of things never to do, but it's safe to say I've discovered a new # 1 and # 2 if there was ever any to begin with.
1. NEVER alow your inexpereinced hands to be within 5 feet of a paint brush with wet paint if your intent is to weather something.
2. NEVER say WTH, it can't get any worse....Wrong....See rule #1
I'm too embarrassed to even take a picture.
3. NEVER again!
Well, I have no idea how bad it is (although weathering on bricks should be done dry so you can do it lightly and then gradually darker), but no worries. Whatever you did, you can fix it. If it's paint that "ruined" the weathering technique, just let it dry and than reapply your original base green color. Should hide whatever you don't like. After that, use the dry chalk technique and you'll be on your way again. Good luck!
