    Hell ya, no turning back. Even if I end up disappointed with the final paint effects, I can always have her Repainted by a pro later, over the winter.
    I’m aching to test out all the new upgrades on the asphalt.

    I was counter teasing John, totally knew you were joshing
    But my plan was always to do my best, in house, but if I didn’t love the results, a pro would be able to repaint it later, and easier than I did.
    I still don’t know if I’ll like the 2 tone paint scheme etc..
    can’t wait to find out though.

    I have complete faith that the two tone paint is going to be awesome.

    I always say it looks great from a running horse!

    I dislike perfect things. Probably because I am lazy!

    I prefer saying that I embrace Wabi-sabi rather than that I'm lazy.

    Mike, it will look *fantastic!*

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
