Ollie, its good to know I'm not the only one with un-popular opinions! 8-) Not many understand when I say basecoat -clearcoat done to a mirrir finish , doesn;t look right. I am using single stage Urathane, and my friend-painter said he now only knows how to paint the BB-CC. So I am takeing it to an older painter that has no problem doing Urathane. He charges about #20 per hour and does great work. I love living back in the sticks!........................MO On Jan 27, 7:58 pm, "Ollie" <satellite1...@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Paint job....you get what u pay for. The cost is in the prep.
