    Lynn,

    PPG DP epoxy primer - unreduced

    Omni base coat

    House of Kolor UC35 urethane clear

    Used HOK medium speed reducer for both the base and clear.

              Ha ha, you remember that Dale? Man let me tell you, I've made every wrenching/painting mistake known to man but dropping my first 1000S tank on the ground right after shooting the final clear was a surreal mind numbing experience. For those that haven't heard that story, I baked the paint as shown below over night so it could be reshot the next day - couldn't stand the thought of what happened and wanted it fixed asap. The interior temp in the chest was nice and toasty and the paint was ready for color sanding in the morning.

                      would have been nice to see a bit more of what went into the job (stages of taping etc). nice finish product though .
