marzman Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Oh, and nice work Jay... how long did you send on prep? Not the colour i would have gone for, but looks good. Quote
Jay Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Prep didnt take long at all! Cleaned it, sanded it down, gave about 6 layers of primer then keyed it ever so slightly then 7 layers of black gloss! Easy Quote
