While the first coat went on well, there were some areas that will need a second coat at a later date. Overall, I was happy with the result, and now the HUP looks like a "real" CMP!

Rob,

The Heavy Metal Mistress is looking good. Great looking paint job. The tolerance for WWII painting seems better than the Cold War painting specification, which seems to call for overspray on the tires, steel rims, lights and all the rubber gaskets on the windshield.

So it looks like Bob and Rob will be on the road in Merrickville for Canada Day 2017. Lots of pressure for the other Ottawa Rotters (and our good friends in Montreal/Kingston) to get their rides finished, plated and on the road for the 150th anniversary of the Canadian Beaver Colony.....

Cheers!
