Painting test has begun ! Actually had some time to fire up the air brush. First pi is, TOP LEFT: black pre shade, TOP RIGHT is dark blue pre-shade. BOTTOM RIGHT is just semi gloss black. So far , I like the looks of the all semi gloss. But after a few more added colors, we;ll see. I'll explain each step as I go. When all done, I let you all decide witch is the best !..............Harv

Hi Harv. Personally, I would start with the dark and gradually Lighten it.

Ok, small update. Really bored tonight, so decided to tackle the vac canopy (rear). Been putting it off, because I was afraid of it, you know, screwing it up. But here it is . Still needs a little sanding, and a dip in future. But the fit is good to go. Thanks for looking in..........Harv

Nice work Harv. Every vac canopy I have done I've screwed up. I really cant wait to see this in paint. Its a beaut.
