Did some painting!!!

First time spraying a finish coat (base coat, clear coat). After I clean up dad's garage tomorrow I'll be ready to set the tub back on the frame! The pictures don't do the color justice, the color is VOL Orange (Pantone Matching System 151). I'm very pleased

It's called golf because all the other four letter words were taken.

Man, that does look nice. How many coats is that, and is it one application? I mean, are the base coat, clear coat one shot or do you clear after the base coat? Thanks and keep the pics coming, Jeff.

four coats of base and 4 coats of clear. I took that many to get good coverage and prevent runs.

I plan on having it back together as soon as possiblr but I doubt I'll have it ready before the Pigeon Run show.

That does look good. Hopefully when I get back from Deployment, I'll be doing the same thing soon after. Later, Jeff.
