Mike, I might take you up on your offer if we get desperate!  How much vacation time you got?? :roflsmiley:

That was a great link Andrew!  I can't believe they're serious...people actually do that?? :dunno:

Its no joke.  I have done it on one fender :2thumbs:
Its got 4 coats on it now.  I figure after 6 or 7 coats and a good buff, it will look just fine for a '67 dodge

Sorry to hear about the duster though, I know you guys will do fine

Sorry about them leaving you out in the dark. I would tell everyone I new in the area what happened. Something will come along and you will get it painted. Whatever happens take plenty of pictures so we can all have a look at the progress.

wow..those threads about the roller painting were interesting.....and believable.
Anyways, things happen for a reason. When y'all are all done you'll be happy this went down the way it did. :2cents:

 :walkaway: Sadly even in Gerogia this time of year it is a bit cool and damp to start painting in your garage. It should be at least a constant 70* to do any serious paint work. That means late spring at best and that puts a preimum on time to paint and reassemble the car before Carlisle. You know anyone personally who has a paint booth/shop ? I guess the old addage............"If it sounds too good to be true..........................." Keep your head up Pixie, somehow you guys will get the Duster done and done right, ya all are a great team  :2thumbs:

I was reading the article and now I know what MEK stands for...

Now... this Brightside paint uses M. E. K. (METHYL ETHYL KETONE as a thinner.
