So it will be black! As it should be >:D

I watch some maker videos. And it always amazes me when they take some off the wall path to the goal that, yes, was much simpler and faster than I would have taken.

  Kendo,
    And now Black it is. :)
  I just had a great day for painting and I've been waiting for just the right day weather wise. I had a few items to paint, both clear and black.
my motorcycle front fender was chiped by a rock in the black, silver and orange flames. I dont like to play with color matching but I think it came out well enough.
    The JPS bonnet is now in Black and clear coated.
   My Forth time sanded and cleared all black bonnet is again in clear after waiting a few months without any shrinkage. I'm really happy with it.
  D'Man

  Had some time to buff out the original bonnet again, hopefully this time it will stay mirror like and stop shrinking . The last clearcoat was 9 months ago and held the mirror effect.
 Also finished a few honey do’s , picture frames and fix a Pella Awning window .  It’s a known
defect in the exterior trim and the glazing compound.
  I usually catch the glazing flaking out but I missed this one.  Pella said they would replace for 2k
But for $100 and a few day’s work it will be as good as new.
  The picture frame only waited about a year 😁🥱
