I know where you are coming from....I have refinished furniture, where I have worked through 400-then a number of steel wool grades, and it looks like you can sink a finger into it. It is more a time thing with this.

I am also working on s few job apps that are due in the same time frame as the Barber trip. And again it is my first attempt at this, and they are 300$ track body work...as long as they look reasonable for the photo guy I am happy...:lol

IIRC, aside from Jennings and some in the SW, most tracks are closed now until late Feb or early April. Weather as well as their maintenance season. I know BIR is being repaved. Or, at least parts of it are.

Got the black on all the parts today. Now it has to dry so I can peel all the masks off it and shoot some clear over everything. I ended up forgoing the metallic clear, just to simplify things....



Time for some lunch...:corn....:hammer:

No worries... I took them off as soon as I could, with out leaving finger prints anyway...

After 4 coats of clear I am done, whatever it is it is. It is plenty good enough to go to Barber :hammer:







I think it will work...even though there are plenty of mistakes in the paint, I am pretty happy with it seeing how it is my first attempt...:dunno
