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 ???

Another vote for Juice Q. Works well.

The glossy black looks beautiful.
