    i decided to go gloss black POR, i painted it in satin but it looked really flat so rubbed it back with 320 and re did it still not completely happy as im no expert painter ive been stuffing around with my different guns i have 3 runs on the chassis none will be seen when body is on but still annoys me, and one axle housing on the diff isnt as glossy as the rest of it, so when i paint the control arms and bits and pieces ill re do half the diff and touch up those runs on the chassis, the chassis and diff have $350 worth of paint on them now but im still having fun but i want to get it right
