I will, someday, learn to air brush, I have promised DeeCee AND the wife, she has even bought me the tools, BUT since we get so many "free" cans of spray paint, I just never seem to run out of colors!

You know it Mike! My wife is the City of Midwest City wastewater manager - and she has it set up with the local office where people turn in old cans of paint, varnish, pesticides, whatever. They know to hold and keep ALL model paints, jars, sprays, whatever aside, and when they get a box full, they call her and she picks them up for me. I have gotten Tamiya cans, Testors, all kinds - still new, some open, but a lot are new. So with this seemingly endless supply, I just have had no need to learn the air brush yet. |

Nope took them off and will not go back on , if fact the passenger side mirror had so much glue that it ran clear to the bottom of the door
( should of taken a close up of it but... ) didn't really see it till I started sanding on the body but all gone now but sure was a PITA
to get it smooth again !!!
