I had one of those days a while back. Highlighting the coats of some figures made them look like skeletor and his legion.
Posted here got sympathy and advice. Had a rest and then sprayed the buggers black and began again. Results ok self esteem restored.
Mal I sympathise my paintings no where near as good as yours. I shared your pain and suzzanne shaws hooters too. ( its not the skating talent we watch for) :

Advice take a break paint something different then go back it will all be cool, it was for me.
Alternatvely take one primus stove and melt the bugger it's really quick and painless. :
