So do you do rust repair for a living? The quality of the work looks top notch. My 60 has a lot of rust, but it is not even close to as bad as what you started with! Want to do rust repair on my 60?

I think that's gonna look super sharp...I would consider satin black as opposed to flat...sort of in between flat and gloss but that's just my aesthetic 2 cents.
