Well got the rest of the top parts etched and the 1st coat of primer on today

My paint came today Rust-Oleum "Gloss Sand Beige" so I started with the 1st coat

This waiting 24 hours for paint to dry sucks......

You are totally right on the waiting part Scott, it sucks big time. Nice color choice, can't wait to see the final product.

You worked on a MINI instead of the Holiday? The Mob is on the way! Oh, you need more paint. I guess it's OK. :joyous:

Hold on here... are you pulling the boat with the MINI... cause that would be an interesting scene.... kinda like where the garage/shop is bigger than the house --- really the way it's supposed to be!
