Finish Coat!
Created on 2008-07-01 16:24:29
Couldn't hold off. The BGT spent just 8 hours in primer before I was spraying on the top coat. Three pints of cream-colored paint -- it looks good from far away, I'll have to have a painting pro do it sometime if the rust repairs hold out -- anyway, decided to get enough cream paint to do the whole thing. Maybe later I'll do the Irish flag paint scheme. For now, this is enough. I can't wait to get the bits back on and see what it looks like!
