  1. 1. How many quarts of color (black, single-stage) should I get? If exterior only, 2 quarts will get it. Jambs too, then get a gallon. I mix a gallon when doing an all over with jambs and still have remaining paint. With 75% spray out overlap it will cover quickly. 2. What kind of prep (other than masking and stripping stickers / remaining wax from the paint) do I need to do? Red scotch brite wash twice. Like your scrubbing a pan with dried up shit in it. 3. Would multiple coats be more durable? (seems obvious, but thought should ask) Depends actually. Multiple coats will create thicker paint, giving it a better opportunity to peel and chip down the road. 4a. How long before it's safe to get it muddy? 4b. How long should the paint cure before I hit it with a wax? I dont cut and buff single stage until 72 hours after its been sprayed. So I would keep it in that range to make sure its fully cured. If not it will gum up when trying to buff. I know washing and buffing are 2 different things. I have washed fresh single stage within 6 hours of force dry. I dont wax single stage either, but I would wait 30 days. Typically with single stage, it just gets polished every so often. It will dull down faster then base/clear will. Im not talking month, but over the years.
  2. It was on the Grand Sports stock. Most of the time when you see it, its aftermarket. http://www.planetlsx.com/images/articles/lg_thumbs/58-1.jpg
  3. I think it all started back in the day, when we pulled up to the stop light at emerald parkway and tuttle. The sprinkler head was broken off and it was raining in just the one spot. Right were we both had to stop to trigger the light.
  4. Must of been in the older part of Hilliard, because I was in Hilliard all day, and it was a hard quick storm. But nothing to write a book about.
  5. Ahh the 100-400? You have a motor going out or what?
  6. Really surprised the camera caught focus and maintained it!
  7. Just noticed, and thats all I wanted to say. Though Im not sure all of us here, if any still shoot film. Though I just thought about it last week.
  8. No crack is too big. Not trying to float my own boat or anything, but I was ranked the #1 plastic welder in the nation.
  9. Check with mobilex? They give you a vehicle too.
  10. If a fairing cracks again in the same place is wasn't repaired correctly. Welding is the best repair out there. You get the rod I have the welded. I've been welding plastic for 10 years.
  11. If you have never used one, I dont recommend it. Like everyones already said, scratch your balls, and get it off by hand. I roll it off with my thumb everyday.
  12. Mine didnt have 4th either. Ran great, sold it at 200k also. I may be interested if the other half is cool. We just bought her a yukon, but she needs something to tool around in when the whole fams not along for the ride.
  13. Tow like its not even there. http://www.mrtrailer.com/t_pic/toystinger.jpg
  14. I dont run mobile version of sites for that reason. Just turned it off in my settings.
  15. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2210/5745725632_b251cbff13.jpg This is the worst photoshop I've seen in a long time. Skew and distort would be your friends here. Those would be found under transform.

  17. Let me know for tomorrow. I meet you at canes 62 and gantz.
  18. Well water! I'll contact my brother and post up in the morning. He moved away from home and is in need.
  19. I dont know about dough, but like Ive told you before, since you guys left waaaaaay too early, once those little guys are sleeping all hell breaks loose. Of coarse when you where there, you didnt really hang around anyone to find out either.
