This reminds me to paint my hats. They turned gray from one of the wheel cleaners and I can't get them back to normal.

Thanks guys.

Noticed today after ripping off all the heat tape my powder coater didn't coat the outer ring of my top hats (he thought that part gets covered) soooo they sadly have to get redone. nothing ever goes smooth LOL

Do it once, do it right.

Do it twice when you're bored.


It's ok. In the mean time, I got my piano black interior trim from Sewell today that I will be skinning with real carbon fiber. One project delayed, another project to start. lol

EDIT: fail number 2 for the week.

Piano black door switch plates are different from wood grain (and much harder to skin) so I have to return these to Sewell and find some wood grain panels to skin now. Lol

Lol right?? It's not a quick process by any means. I still haven't finished the pieces I posted up. Will hopefully get a lot done this holiday weekend. Stancenation is coming to Texas end of June, so I need to get motivated to finish all my small projects!
