    I'm no painter. But have done some fleet work. Just like you. I had a new century hood down low on shop floor. My first full hood to paint. Metallic blue with clear. Truck wasn't very old. I tried my hardest to do a awesome job. Nicer than the fleet would accept. Anyhow shop had 3 drive through bays for tractor trailers, and 2 side tractor bays. When we sprayed paint, heat went up and nobody was allowed to open a door. Middle of winter storm. I got a heavy wet clear on it. Looked great. Probably the best I've ever done. Drinking coffee and a guy in the tire room opens a door 3 foot. You could see the dirt at 50 mph come across the floor. Game over. Looked as smooth as a stucko bathtub. Spent 2 days fixing it. Never did look right. Fleet still didn't care. It was blue with a hood.


    So I'm only teasing you about a run. Looks #### good from here.

    Solid point, but Karen is always listening. I have to stick up for the big ######. I need her to start in the Am. 20221015_123212.jpg

    I’ll always have a soft spot for square hoods, but Karen certainly doesn’t look bad. :)
