    Same dealer, new game.... I used to think the only way to paint over chrome is taking it to a chromer's and have 'em take the chrome off. That's before I discovered these... 60 grit flap wheel. Takes chrome down to a paintable finish like a knife through butter. Handed off to the...

    Uh-oh...If I dood it, I get in trouble!

    Like Marty, I've got over 40yrs working on and around jet engines. In the early 80's, an explosive decompression at 25,000 ft took out my left ear. It's gone... completely. The silver lining is it forced me to take extra care of the one and only ear left.... which I wasn't doing prior. My right...

    Painting Tins. No really...

    Forgot to mention.... After the flying cup-n-lid fiasco, I finally learned the secret handshake. A bit tricky, but removing the lids to add thinner is doable. It pays to get the mix right in the first place, but if I don't, it's not the end of the world.

    Don't think I've told this one before, but I'm at that age... ya know? :er: Late 90's... was a flight mechanic on a 727 freighter. A flight mechanic is just a glorified name for a mechanic that flies with the airplane when it travels to places where there's no maintenance. Here's a typical...
