Update: finally hung the geckos outside :-)
As I began taking out my decorations for the backyard, I noticed my poor tropical gecko's really faded from the sun. I also found some new ones at the Dollar Tree, but they were really kind of bland and could use a facelift.
So off to Michael's I go to look for metal paint. I was surprised to find that Martha Stewart had a line of all surface paint (which included metal) so I grabbed some High Gloss Colors and headed home. These were $1.99 each and of course I used my teacher discount for an extra 15% off the total.
I cleaned off the gecko's and began painting, here are my results.
