That is just what I was thinking! They do things just a little different in Hawaii I guess.

I HIGHLY admire a guy that does work this extensive in a **** garage like this with a dirt floor.

I have a pretty damn nice dealership in my town and my cry baby mechanics and body men cry over EVERYTHING; stupid things like a blown light bulb in 1 of the 90 ceiling lights, or someone not sweeping up at the end of the night.

Much respect and appreciation to you.

thanks for the great comments. this is my first time painting. i had to sand the clear down and lay more down another coat of black. there were alot of light spots.

yeah it is a dupont product, (Nason) i believe. Its a Honda color.

When i respray again im going to go with a couple more coats of clear so i can color sand and buff.. maybe.
