Default Finally Finished the Paint Job!!

Here it is. Finally finished. I actually painted it three times. The first two times I screwed something up. I was going with a satin black. It never would harden. Not sure why. So this time I went with a gloss. It's charcoal grey. It's actually a Chevy color. I'll post some pictures once I get the tank emblems on. I tried once to put them on. Only to F the first one up. So I had to trash it and order it again. I pick it up tomorrow. I'll try to post some better pics later in the week.

What kind of Satin paint were you trying to use?

I am getting ready to paint everything but my tank in satin black. I am going to use VHT hood, bumper and trim paint in satin black. It is a polyurethane paint so it should be very durable...

Here is a picture after I added the emblems. It's more centered than it looks. The light makes it look off center.
