There are so many pieces to this car, what with the bed, cab, and all, that it would be a major outlay of cash to have it professionally painted.
He has so much other shiny stuff on the car that we think the satin will be a nice contrast and let the other parts pop a little. Plus, if he doesn't get this thing in paint pretty soon he will never make Turkey Run again this year. I think if he misses having it there he will push it into a corner and not want to see it again.:(
You and Steve really have me thinking about the primer danger thing. This is the first time we ever used PPG stuff, normally we use Dupont. Maybe there is a higher load of bad stuff, or just different stuff than we are used to. Like I mentioned, he complained about not feeling well Saturday night when we got home...........maybe there is a link to that and the primer. He WILL wear a suit next time.
