Yeah Tim
I hear ya  But I really dont feel like sanding and resanding runs out of my paint. Too much going on |
Hey you could have practiced witht the primer. I'm just messing with you, I do understand completely. Materials are expensive to be wasting them.

If your worried about runs....Just use a roller.  |
I have seen a truck done that way! Looked fantastic!  |
Yeah, I hear ya I had soooo much practice on my bus that I got tired of chasing runs. Not willing to go there on this one  You know what I am saying....some things better left to the professionals  |

Creig and I messed around fine tuning his color at my shop on Sunday. We darkened it a bit and added a little more blue toner......look's sinister and vintage all at the same time  It's one of those colors that looks gray in the can but when spayed out and in the sun..... very blue |

He's a bike guy. Bike guys don't have to sand shit, they just have to look good!
Rock on, Creig!!! |

Looking good Creig,
I've been looking at that sample color we shot for you. It gets bluer and bluer every time I look at it. It seemed a little grey at fist, but in direct light its got plenty of blue. That color is the shit! |
