I was warned that silver is not an easy color to spray, and after the second coat of base went on (zebra striped) I was ready to hurl the paint gun across the room and go buy some black paint instead. But after going for a drive to calm down, and then switching back to my old cheap reliable siphon feed gun for the third coat of base, I couldn't be happier with the results. 7195741-4spd029.jpg (231 downloads)

Bryan The PEI Street Rod Association is hosting a small show & shine at the Old Brudenell Park on that weekend. My favorite show is definitely The Atlantic Nationals in Moncton N.B on the following weekend.

We're planning on taking the 70 to PEI summer of 2013 once we figure out a good show to go to, maybe we can get together. Again... looking great!

It turned out pretty good for the first one that either one of us had ever done. Also put the head liner in this week as well. 7484193-4spd086.jpg (137 downloads)
