Black is awesome. Can't wait to see it buffed and out in the sun.

Reminds me of the old Athlete's Foot ad:
"Have you got them any blacker?"

Cheers,

Always wondered mate, why not paint the whole thing in one go ? I understand doing the roof and around the windows separate seeing its a closed door job , but why not paint the guards while the gun is hot ???
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Another vote for Juice Q. Works well.

The glossy black looks beautiful.
