I painted 2/3 of Ms. Pint's front lip with Krylon Fusion Satin Black
( Click to show/hide )Unfortunately, I ran my thumb over the crack she showed me in the 3rd piece, and a little piece fell off. There is a decent opening behind it, so that has to be taken care of before the painting can be finished.
Also, the opposite end piece had been wrapped by a place that obviously doesn't know what they're doing. Ultimately, they were unable to do the wrap, and when they removed it, whatever adhesion promoter they used did not remove cleanly at all (how they were unable to get the wrap to stick with the ridiculous adhesion promoter they used is beyond me). I spent a good 10 minutes on it with 220 and barely made a dent. I had a degreaser, but probably needed rubbing alcohol or something similar. I just did the best I could in the time we had with the materials at hand, and after two coats, I could tell it wasn't going to be a high quality job. She told me it's fine, so I just finished the piece with several more coats.
The middle piece looks great Post a pic of that one, Tracie
