that looks sick....i think charcoal grey would look better than black, but what the eff do I know....are you happy with how it laid down for you? (looks great from here)

its going to look awesome when its done. Are you going to black out the all the chrome...including the door handles?

K, I didn't like the spray texture alone. I sprayed and rolled every bit of it to get this texture. Once it leveled out, I really liked it. Yes, Goss just like all my rigs, are completely DE-CHROMED...

I looked at different lower colors, but I just like the black on bottom.

black on the hood is definitely a no brainer...I'm actually thinking of doing pasti-dip on the my hood (your white section), plus the very front of the hood and fenders for a temp type of protection against rocks on the highway.

You could keep the white..you'd look like an ambulance.

Can't wait to see Goss in person...will have to get some hero shots of him with the Walrus. Beer and steaks will be waiting.

Looking killer J! I have noticed with Goss and Marley that when you tape a color change you don't radius your corners... any "method to the madness" on this?

Danny, I never really thought about it... maybe just my NON-CONFORMIST attitide shouting out in my taping.. HEE HEE!

Went and checked it this morning and all looks great except one spot on the DS fender. I guess the light shining off the edge of the fender tricked my eyes. I can barely see a hint of white in 4 small spots.

I'll recoat it when I spray the trailer in a few weeks.

why are you up so early?

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

I'm usually always up before 6am... and the kid in the candy store effect woke me up even earlier...

Feels like I have a new cruiser at the house. BUT STILL LOTS OF WORK TO GO!

I have a block and an oil heater (Kats). Once I replaced the shorted out block element it fired right up in sub zero weather in Feb (-18) here.. Never an issue since.

Thanks Johnny,

These kits are pretty good, you can achieve many different textures depending on your patience during the drying and final rolling stage.
