Ketchan,

Those pics look absolutly fabulous. I am jealous. Better not let my MINI see these. She's getting the "full" treatment this Thursday.

How many hours did it take you to do one car ?

thanks! yeh, shukes24 did a nice job taking those picts.
i took my time since it was my first time using the orbital. with some
playing around and all, took about total 10hrs. I think i can do it
next time in less than half the time.

My biggest pita was lighting... not enough light near the bottom of
the car in my garage so had to use my portable shop light which was
okay, but kind of a pita to use. so got a nice flouresent lamp today
at HomeDepot, and wired up more power strips in my garage.
