Hey Guys,

Some of you may have seen this already, and maybe one of you wrote it, but I just got saw this link on the AC facebook page.

Very interesting reading, helping us understand that elusive Factory Finish

Where did you come by the magazine?

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance.
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.

GREAT ARTICLE. MY PAINT JOBS SOMETIMES LOOK LIKE I DID IT IN 4 MINUTES, BUT BELIEVE ME I DO SPEND QUITE A BIT MORE TIME THAN THAT. MAYBE 4 DAYS? OR 4 WEEKS?

That is a great story/article. As I begin my first attempt at painting (my G) next week, the talent to be able to paint a tractor in 4 minutes and to cover everthing and have no runs makes me envious. Thanks for sharing this with us. Bob@allisdowneast
