We'll be in Nola for the class on Sat and the autoX on Sunday. If we're not too tired I wanna pass by and see it.
I'll be working on it this weekend and next weekend.
Saturday is the CENLA bbq.

Stop on by anytime.

It took about 5 light coats to get full coverage over everything. The color is super thin and goes on better lightly, it also flashes off in minutes, so on something like I've got, you can just keep spraying and spraying.

Also, I've about about 1/2 a gallon left if you want something orange.

Well, the clear is on, and as usual it didn't go as planned. There's some wet sanding and polishing to do, but here she is, finally painted.

A 1/2 gallon you say? I could potentially have some use for this...
