Hi! Tom Sunday was buyer’s day and Saturday was seller’s day. Sunday’s prices seemed to be down in comparison to the other auction days, money spent and bidders gone home. I would bet that there were a lot of disappointed sellers on Sunday. I too liked the 63 fuelie and thought it was one of...

Hi! Barry Thanks for the compliments! I am very please at this time. I used a Devilbis HVLP gun with the lacquer for the first time and there was a short learning curve. I tried a Sharpe HVLP gun but got a run on the first panel and switch back to the Devilbis. Other than the one run...
