    Sheesh Bob, did you line the garage with plastic sheets when you sprayed?

    What colour is that it looks a bit like Olive but a bit hard to tell.....

    Looks like you got a nice gloss though

    thanks guys, i love it.
    cam, no plastic but i did use my compressor to blow out all the dust.
    surprisingly little crap in the paint, and since its single stage i plan
    on color sanding out the orange peel anyway.

    Love the color Bob. Great job. Need some more pics .... and hopefully see it in person soon. Might have to take another trip up to Cooperstown for a beer. We did the Delaware County Rally up there, and lunched at Mingo Grill, on Aug 8th.
    Keep us updated.

    Nice job!

    If you have any more painting to do try wetting the floor before you spray. A damp floor will give off less dust.
