Another masterpiece John! Just stunning detail work.

I don't know if you mentioned it, but what do you use for primer and are you polishing it before laying paint? It's got a sheen to it and looks to be pretty darn smooth!

Ryan.........it is PPG 3 part epoxy primer.........it has a finished sheen........but,I sand it down before I lay the color down......thanks.

Piece of art... Already, even if it's still WIP. Everything looks so nice and clean, and realistic of course. As Ryan mentioned above, the primer looks very smooth, looks like good basis for paint coats. B)

Yet another fan of your works in progress John.

Its a real treat to watch each and everyone of your builds from start to completion,the amount of work and the high level of detail is very impressive.

John you have to be the best back yard builder I know ;)... i wasnt sure if you were using a booth or not since I saw no dust in that paint. Its flawless, but spraying inside the shed would also help. I typically spray on the side of my house right outside the garage in m back yard. Keep up the great work.
