Jonnyboy- Okay sounds good.. And yeah, I think your right I need to take that awful duct tape off and give it a fresh coat of paint! Anybody know what type of paint is best for pvc? The last kind didn't stick very well.. :evil:

Sjog- You are definitely right about the hairspray getting gummy! After about a hundred shots the inside of my chamber is super sticky and looks terrible! I will have to try using a brush and some hot soapy water like you suggested..

Jook13-After I clean my chamber I will have to look for that 3-2-1 dry stuff.. You said it won't leave my chamber all sticky... That would be great!

Also everyone says that I should use metered propane and from what I've heard it's cheaper and its way more powerful!.. Hmm this may be another upgrade I might consider..
Best paint? Krylon Fusion.

EDIT: Sorry about the double post. My darn internet cable got unplugged causing me to post twice without knowing it.
