      Eric,

      Great job on the painting... a couple thoughts for you... if your gun tip is too small, experiment with adding a touch of thinner. (Not sure what thinner is used on that SEM paint). I too painted my frame, but with POR15 and a brush! Then I discovered powder coating. The best thing about powder coating is you can bring somewhat dirty parts to them, as long as they're not super greasy. They bead blast and coat it. HUGE time saver. After I got the parts back, I re-tapped threaded holes to get any paint residue out. Done.



      Keep up the great work, while I continue to knock out the small issues with "Green Envy".

      Mike

      Hey Mike!

      I have a powder coater nearby but my problem would be how to get the frame/diff to them without hiring someone with a flat bed trailer or JerrDan. I don't have the skills Eric or you have so I may go that route. Still in the planning stages.

      What small issues with Green Envy? Looks to me like you nailed it my friend!
