^ Aw, you guys are too nice - thanks!
Personally, I admire the members here that paint their own bikes. Stick a paint gun or rattle can in my hands and I'm all opposable thumbs. Seriously, I have to give them props; I can't imagine how they do it and if I followed explicit instructions I'd still jack it all up.
Bottom line: drillium will always polarize, and everyone has a right to his/her own opinion. It's all good
