Anyone who has done a project that requires paint, will understand the WEEKS that I have not posted progress on the project.
I delivered the welded, finished? air cleaner base to my buddy who insisted on painting it, weeks ago. First comment, "take it home and blend in the outer edges for paint. I did that, then waited.
Today, I got to watch the paint applied to my project. You don't want to know how many hours he spent getting it "ready for paint" after I had spent days on it! But, the finished project is as perfect as it could get.
