01mxz800 Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 well it FINALLY got it in paint, while I didn't get the high gloss finish due to gun issues which I can rectify with wet sanding and buffing in the spring, other than cleaning it up and installing bumpers I am going to declare this project DONE 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
