This thing is finally orange! The paint came from Frank Badalson and I only hope it holds up as good as it looks. 'Cause it looks awesome! I had to use a different reducer than recommended. The paint shop could only order it by the gallon and I needed an ounce or two. He just gave me a reducer and assured me it would work just fine. No primer was used. The instructions stated in bold letters, DO NOT PRIME ENGINE DO NOT ADD HARDENER! So, I followed them. When I talked to him on the phone his only advice was to make sure it's as clean as possible. So, I spent hours trying to accomplish that. Yes, that was tons of fun! But, I'm really happy how this turned out!
