Lol ... authentic tape mix. Took hours to formulate. Dunno what I'll do for sure. I had no plan goin. Tint the windows maybe today. That brings a question to mind. I have Faskolor window tint. Do I mask so that it doesn't darkin the green ? Or in fact will it ? I'm not a sticky type guy, so it's probably about where it will be. Oh by the way, I have a Red Ryder BB gun ... Don't shoot yer eye out kid ... lol

I promise I wont shoot it out.. But I can't say I won't take a shot at the dog next door.
Depending on how you backed up the green you may get a different tint on it in the light after you tint the windows without masking off the green.

I have seen them at some auto parts suppliers.. I've also seen them at Harbor Frieght Tools. We are lucky and have a store for them about 20 min from my house and I've seen them there I'm fairly sure along with those scaled down hydrolic floor jacks... Perfect for pics like that..

Damn ... All they ever want to know is "where'd you get the jack stands" Yup, think it was HF. Actually, they are really handy. And you can get a mini hyd floor jack from Sears. Did not wanna hear that I prob have to mask the windows AT ALL, but I figured that would be the answer.

Ok .. Last few pix ... Read alot on tint about goin slow ( runs, etc ) I backed off the feed and pressure ( paranoia ). Got tired of that and went for it. Am I happy, yes , sorta. It's gonna be a driver, so what the hell. Overall, it came out decent and as above, I am real pleased with my experience with Faskolor. Now I am retired as a painter. Lol. The pix in the shop do not come out too well. Hope you enjoyed the rant and if I ever get some sun I will try and do some good shots.
