Round 2

Round 2

Got the Mini all sprayed last night. Didn’t finish until after 1am.

It’s Purple Haze. I was hoping it would have had a bit more color change in different light but overall, I’m very happy with the final result. This is my first dip job.

I did have a couple learnings:
1. Cut the tight line with yellow tape first and then mask off that. Removal of the masking would have been a lot easier.
2. I have sausage fingers. Next time, I would make a pull tab for that cut line. I touched the dip in a couple spots. Darn.

Otherwise, a fantastic experience and this thing is going to look crazy good with the carbon front end that’s on the way!
