Default The New Paint is DONE !!!!!

Well after the first try at getting the fade stripes correct, the painters went back in armed with over a dozen pictures of what it should look like. and this is about as close as they are going to get.

At least I don't want to wait for a third try. Remember the decals are produced from a computer, so the fade os perfect. With a paint gun it is never going to be perfect.

We are happy with the way it looks this time, so now they just have to put it back together.....Patience Obywon, Patience...

Nice! I wasn't impressed with the first try, but I think he got it right this time.

The guy that hit it has handed me a check for $7,700.00.

I think that by the time they are done, I will have to shell out a few hundred over that to cover the bill, but I am getting a few extra things done at the same time.
