Yep, I will.

Okay, my arrgh-teest abilities are waning this morning. The chassis was already done in semi-gloss black. I added some flat and a bit of gloss black. For the bottom of the pan, I sprayed flat black, sprayed the tank flat al-you-minny-yum and went back over it with a gray metallic. After seeing the pictures I went back again and brushed some flat black to tone down the silver colors on the bottom of the pan. I can't see any difference between the gloss and semi-gloss. Suggestions welcome.

looking good Lyle!

I can't imagine that there is much a difference between gloss and semi-gloss? :hmm:

Thanks, pal. I’d guess there is about half a gloss of difference.

Is that half gloss half full or half empty? :whistle:

Half a gloss is better than no gloss...

Hey, Joe! The Spaz Stik came today and I’ll apply it tomorrow. How long does it need?
