Obviously @squonk and @ebinmaine have no need to get their eyecrometers calibrated.:lol:


Hhhmmm… I measured it on my iphone screen like I do for all highly important measurements- after zooming in… you mean that’s not accurate? :confusion-confused:
 

Uh oh… :scared-eek:

I've been following your use of the Van Sickle performance Ag-Fleet Oil Base Acrylic Enamel.https://www.vansicklepaint.com/products/performance-ag-fleet

Are you using there sand able primer   https://www.vansicklepaint.com/products/performance-ag-fleet-primer or a 2 part sand able primer.

This is one product of theirs that I don't use. Their sand-able primer is lacquer based, I opt to use a 2K urethane primer on the sheet metal parts. My reason for this is that a lacquer primer will shrink under the paint, the 2K will not. I do use their enamel primer that you listed under the paint on the rough parts. This primer can be painted over after a 1/2hr wait without having to scuff it.

 

This is what they consider their sand-able primer.

SAWWEET!  Thoughts on lettering the tires Dan? On the fence here but might make them pop but might draw attention to checks n cracks but  yer one of the few that could pull it off. I tryed it once I sucked at that too. 

I'll open up a # 10 can of woop@$$ on anyone to argue no matter what. :lol:

Mounted the tires on the rims today.

 

I certainly wish they still made those front tires. They give a look to the 867 that you just can't duplicate. I'm glad yours are in such good shape! :thumbs:

 

And those wind chimes do look nice!

I agree, there are some trailer tires that come close to the same look but they just aren't the same.

Exactly who wins when these occur?

And..... How do you tell???

Is there a more or less common/frequent winner?

Does the loser get a consolation prize of any sort?

I used to just have an argument between "me" and "myself". Then I found it necessary to drag "I" in for a tie breaker. The winners gets to have the final say as always, and have a drink to celebrate. The loser is left to drink away his sorrow.:D

I believe this to be a fair method.
