I'm not a fan of blogging, but Craig doesn't bother writing about what he ate for breakfast or how cold the seat on the john was after eating chinese for lunch lol. So I don't mind checking it out.

LOL! Haha, I post those on my other blog joke ...

I got a black coat last night, my dad and I put it on in the dark (lol). It's supossed to rain up until the weekend, I hope the rain doesn't ruin it without the gloss protection, but if not I have a little black left to touch up and I'll slap some gloss on, take off the rest of the tape, and call it finished! Yay!

I might paint the tow hooks, good idea. Red? :P How do I take them off?

The rain shouldn't do anything to the paint. The only thing that would damage it (assuming you prepared it correctly) would be rocks or bugs.

As for the tow hooks, they should just be bolted onto the frame with one or two bolts. Very easy to take off. Red might be ok...I'd go with black though.

Didn't even see your post in new posts all day ...

Anyway here it is. Not finished, still gotta gloss it, and I want to paint the emblem red, so I'm leaving all tape on. Looks good though.
