Thanks Matt. I'll keep you posted about the turbo. How are you liking the 62/71?

You wanna see clear flow out, just mix an extra 20% reducer to the mix for your last coat....comes out like glass. This process is called flow coating.

Thanks guys. I didn't get very far yesterday, wifey birthday. After spending the day with her yesterday [reminding her that I'm still prince charming] I wake up to a beutiful rain day....which means I have today off!!!! I'm heading out to do some buffing, frame painting & prep the rear bumper for paint. When its completed, I am burning my paint gun [tradition my dad started] & getting really drunk. Just kidding about the paint gun. LOL
