did some painting

Overall the paint came out well. I'd call it a "3 footer", looks good from about three feet and out. Had problems with dust getting in my clear coat since I'm painting in the same area where I've done all my work. It should be OK for a daily driver.

I'm having my dad's friend do the exterior paint. He's very good and has a paint booth.

It's called golf because all the other four letter words were taken.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

Looks pretty darn good to me too. From here it looks like a $10k paint job (I'm five inches from the computer monitor).
