    It's getting there...

    Hopefully this weekend it will be done. Once I get the last coat of paint on then we pinstripe it. Gonna use a double black pin stripe, one wide one thin. Any suggestions on applying tape pinstripes? Wind still sucking here yet.

            Are the pin stripes in tape..? If so, may I suggest that you put the first couple of coats of clear on fairly light and dry. If you pour the clear on too wet to begin with, it might eat into the tape. It might even be a good thing to spray on a few "drier' coats, let it set overnight and then come back, scuff the clear and put on a few final wet coats.

              Did exactly that, though check my new post in Appearances.
