Painting Tins. No really...

Hey @Kevin Werner

Just kidding. Very cool Jim, Bet there was some "Air Force" language used I've never heard before...

I'm truly shocked!

I'm truly shocked!

Oh Yeah!? I'm shocked AND appalled!

Hey Kevin... no worries bud, I gotcha.

Thanks Bob! Let 'em cure for a bit, then the graphics can go on both of 'em. Still hopin' by the end of the month.

Delivery would be a nice trip to the Ozarks.

Delivery would be a nice trip to the Ozarks.

If it works, @Ben1 and I will plan on a visit going to the Ozarks, or returning. If it doesn't work , so be it. We have weeks to figure it out. @Jim 's magic doesn't happen overnight...

 

[Jim]

You're welcome to stop by and pick it up. I don't do installs though...

We plan to have extra time on this trip. If the tank is ready we will pick it up. I travel with tools. We may do a "change over" in Arkansas if the moon and stars align. No pressures, no hurries. I could pick up Gary's tank, or vice versa. Or, per @jetmechmarty you could grill steaks on our way to Arkansas.

Again, very nice work Jim.

I have the petcocks and hardware, does it come topped off with premium?

Again, very nice work Jim.

Thanks!!

I don't do installs.... and I don't pump gas. Would there be anything else?

 

[jetmechmarty]

Would there be anything else?

I believe he mentioned steaks.

 

[Jim]

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.

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 painters... 2 part epoxy.

This'll be a custom color. Stay tuned, you'll not wanna miss it.


Twinsies once again. No longer identical twins, but kindred spirits nonetheless.

 

[Mailman]

Man! You’re busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest!

 

[drgonzo]

Oh I'm tuned in baby!
