No need for $$$, Charles always looks after me ;-) I'll see if there are any larges. I'll be heading down in the next day or 2. I'll let you know what I find.

Take care...

Hey BostonFixed

I went to see Charles at Wright Bros yesterday. All he had was a pair of mediums so I snagged them. It's just the clips (mat black with gold lightening bolts) no starps. If you want them, pm your address and I'll send them off.

Do you guys trade what brain you have between you each week?
Spray paint won't last, baking enamael paints causes them to glass up. Ever heard of copper enamaeling?

I was doing bashguards with this process.

3 light coats, 130 degrees 20 minutes. Gets way harder than solvent drying.
