Pressure paint pot conversion

So after many question, and my own promises of taking pictures and posting up a tutorial on what I did. Here are the steps done to convert a paint pressure pot to a resin casting pressure pot.

The colors were voted on and it was basically a battle between the clear orange and the clear red with the clear red winning out. In other news, I pinned a Kriska Barchenowa from Muv Luv kit using brass rods and magnets.
