Nice work looking good.

Got over cold and got some work done. Didn't like how bright the yellow flames looked so I toned them down with some gold highlights and a touch of red-orange across the nose... A little cleanup, bath and tack and it's clear coat time! :D

Sounds good!!:-X22

Carpet? I'm installing mine with a brush and a roller.:-X24:-X14 But I suppose roll on bed liner goes on a little different then carpet.:-X04 I have no clue when it comes to carpet except all the tv shows say to let it set out in the sun for a little bit to make it more pliable. But I don't know how well that would work in the winter.:-X04

If I can afford the gas and you go to cruises, maybe we can hook up one of these years (years as in, when it's done)! :-missingt Just a couple turnpike exits and a shot down 119. Went to scout camp for about 10 years down in Farmington on 40 (couple mi. from Nemacolin.)

Now the next miserable phase starts, 800 block for the "boo-boo's", 1500 block, another coat of clear (with more light and patience), the cut and buff and then I get to work on something other than painting ! :-X09

fordman75 01-16-2011 02:04 PM

Oooohh SHINY!!:D:-X22:-X22 It's clear to me that you do good work!:-D Looks sweet!!!:-X22

I'm kind of weird but I actually like wet sanding. I find it relaxing.:D But I also prefer doing metal work and paint work over doing mechanical work. Even though I'm not very good at either!:-X14

COMPLIT1107 01-16-2011 02:46 PM

Ted.. Don't mind sanding and buffing the last coat as it is a way to the "finish", the 'tween sands kind of drag on and on.. :-X22 Maybe cause I get to see every little imperfection as it drags down my "painting" ego. :-X03
