Painting

[Verne Koester]

Tom,
I've only shot one color so far using Concept. However, all the tape is in
place for all the colors. The real question here is what to do about each
color after it's shot. Sand the little ridge right away, or just butt up to
it and sand after it's all done before the clear. BTW, this is the first
time I've tried Concept (from Radio South) and so far, I like it a lot.
Previously, I used PPG Acrylic Enamel and K&B Superpoxy. I've never cared
for the idea of the basecoat system for fear of it disintegrating under the
clear from fuel penetration.

Thanks,
Verne
