Ok this morning I did a little Micro mesh sanding on the roof of Chrissy

this is 6000 grit to take orange peel out, my opinion cheap paint (Dollar Store) was what I used.

after the 12000 grit we get some decent shine

Thanks Warren, I like this Tamiya stuff, & to be frank the requests for spray paints has been increasing lately. I may have to look into carrying this line. Stay tune same Chrissy channel.

Yea, took me awhile to get over Her replacing, my desktop with her photo, still a mistery as to how that happened. the temp has dropped 20 degrees over night I must go light the pilot light on the big furnace. I hope I can keep it warm enough to paint. Chrissy Has missed Me. :woohoo:
