[Karl F]

Nice tutorial Mike..U using a small brush fro squiqqlys, or a magic markah??

meybe somebody can put this in the how to do's...

[thefishingfreak]

small brush.
dip-1 line, dip-1 line,dip-1 line, etc...
marker would probly make a mess 'cause everythings still a little sticky

[Backbeach Jake]

Damn man , you're good! I been hanging out at the wrong shop.

[FlukinUki]

freak are you epoxying over the upol or is that the only clear on your plugs? If your only using the spray clear, how does it hold up?

BTW, Killer paint jobs!

[steelhead]

Okay. With the close ups, I'm seeing what I'm lookin for....
Those Rustoleum cans or autobody cans?

some is laquer some is enamel some is eurethane, some is mystery paint. in my life, time is money, and you only get paid $ to do it once. do-overs suk, not saying RUSH everything as things take time to flash off but heet is a big factor.nothing works in here under 70 degrees including me. wet on wet. dry over dry, dry on topwet over dry, never dry on top of wet. red over silver, never silver over red. silver sux anyway.flouresent orange under pearl white,black over blue,grain needs black to hide. sand to 400 scuff sand with gold scuff pads if you've waited too long, nib no luv me, slip likes me,
work fast, get it done. ship it out, don't %$%$%$%$ it up. looks good, customer happy,i'm happy, paint loves me, i get paid, wife happy.
get it done, 1 hour start to finish, none of this two days to dry stuff.if it works it works if it don't it don't, try again.

Hey Freak how come ur so quite in person.
I bet once u loosen up ur a riot.
Nice pictoral.
nothin better in the dead of winter.

[ProfessorM]

So Mike if you wait a day and as long as you scuff you can get the same results with an epoxy cover? I just can't do it that fast after the U-POL. I have to wait a day or 2. Is there any benefit to doing it within 18 hours other than not having to scuff? Paul

but if everything is good in paint land for that zen moment, it's the farr-iiigin' cats nutz.. look at the hood or the rubba bumpers on any car, take a bite, is it tough, does it scratch,can ya bounce rocks off it, not something you do in the basement

Yup, and when your finshed, unless freak paints it, stirs it, and pours the stuff, it will never come close to bein a freakedout finish.

HEY, I'll take ya to catch a bass in Feb... I just need to know what that stuff is
