If we used a flashlight and peeked into the spaces in between the fins and sprayed where appropriate for uniform coverage it can be made of good choice.

Holy crap, I think you need a hobby!  :thumbup:

Looks good, but it appears that your next project should be that push mower and a tan on those legs!  :stickpoke:

One recommendadtion I have for anyone painting is to use Frogtape, instead of that blue 3M stuff. You mentioned paint getting under your tape; doesn't happen with Frogtape. It is an amazingly good product, and only marginally more expensive than the 3M stuff.

I have a hobby...it's called riding!!!  :stickpoke:  And I gave up tanning a long time ago (I'm trying to stay cancer-free).  And I guess I'll be running all my projects through Mr. Omnicient from now on!!!  :t

Nah. It's kinda counter productive to use big words, but then misspell them, no?  :stickpoke: :c
