Hello All,

A year and a half and I finally finished it. Not perfect by any means, but very pretty from a few feet away (Garage paint job, hard to keep the dust out dang it!).

Anyway, pretty satisfied. I’ll wait a week or two the run it in a barrel. It did well before I put the lipstick on, I hope it will perform as well now.

Take care,

Spectacular!

How did you do the stickers? Paint – sticker – clear coat?

I bet that now that it’s pretty, it will run even better 🙂
