The General spotted this at Lowe's. Decided to give it a shot (hehe get it?)

Primer is good old Wal-Mart gray. Wet sanded it and shot it again with primer. One more wet sand and then painted it.

Not too shabby. I'm no Bibbster but it will race.

That looks great! Hmmm that could be a good IROC Porsche color, too.

That looks great Harry. Looks like it flows good. Like the shade too.

Thanks guys. I figure if it didn't work, that's what sandpaper is made for :)

Like the color and from the way it looks in the picture, there is very little orange peel with a great reflectivity! Nice!!!
