Darn it all.....Looks like I am going to have to throw away the honey do list to get this done :grin:

I was going to buy the all Carbon Fiber kit from RRM, but I am really starting to like this.

That looks great!

Good job. I think we all know how bad some diy painting goes and you aren't an example of that. Bravo

As long as the paint has a high heat resistance, it doesn't really matter which brand you use. I'm slowly mustering the strength to paint mine now!
