Bill what the groove does is it picks up water and helps to keep the cavity hole clear. works but you need the hole bigger. when i drill the hole, I give it a tilt forward also.

I learn something new every day. Sometimes many things! I too, usually drill those tiny holes out a little bigger but I have always worried about allowing too much water to blow into what is supposed to be a drain. I guess I will stop worrying! I am also going to keep my eye out for that scoop feature. I swear I had never noticed that before!

Long live American manufacturing!

2 coats primer 2 coats VW Cashmere white . Decided after looking at what I had not to add the brown . I will probably hit it lightly with a scotch bright pad and clear coat it tomorrow. Not perfect . A few buggers here and there but not terrible I think . I’ve never shot clearcoat other than a rattle can before . Hopefully that goes well ..

I decided to try one of the little HF mini guns . I could have used my larger Devilbliss gun but for such a small project I figured I would try the mini gun . I was worried about the smaller tip size but it actually sprayed pretty well for an el cheepo gun …
