Not forced to, unless a shop sprays over a certain amount of paint. A lot of guys are changing to it, just because they know it's coming. Some guys say it's really not as bad as they thought, and some even like it. I'm glad I'm not getting it personally.

I'm shooting Dupont Chromabase, $660 for a gallon. It mixes 1:1 si that gets me two sprayable gallons. I can't imagine using that much.

Water base, bwahhaa. We live out here in Michigan. No emissions testing. Hell I think we still have leaded gas, lol. Lead base paints and asbestos insulation too.

Amazing the markup on paint when it's purchased at a supplier who mixe it for you. The guy painting my Austin gets his mixed, and prices don't seem to be any better than I could buy it. The guy who shot my Camaro had his own computerized mixing system and his cost for paint was about 1/3 of what I would have paid. He showed me his system, and the computer mixes, plus it comes up with his cost on the screen once it's all mixed.

We can't even burn wood when it is cold in California.... They are limp wristed here , i can't stand it...

No paper bags, no plastic bags, no cigarette smoke....But EVERYTHING the liberals want, we have to take...No I don't....

Sorry, not this Rebel..I will fight for my State to the bitter end..Oh, and it will get bitter..

The state is bankrupt, but is giving aid to non citizens..school tuition too...

All for votes, and then the tax payer, me, pays for it.


I am the only guy not sucking on the state nipple and i get charged for everyone else.....

So spray away, and use whatever chemicals you want....I would..

Did I just go on a coffee rant ??? No ..If I told the truth, i would be banned..

You can't burn wood . Thats how we get down. In my part of the world if you go for a ride on a Sat night in the summer. Can't go two blocks without seeing a fire with a bunch of people standing around it. The bigger the party the bigger the fire.

I here you guys on the immigration deal. There are alot of farms here that have rows of old single wide trailers for migrant workers to use while they pick a field of asparagus for $50.

I love my Z hood, but it is not great on clearance. It is the same hood w/ a small hole. Watch the glass hoods. I had an L-88. It was cool until you saw the gaps. perfect on one side 1/2 to nothing on the other and the front was over 3/4. I sold it on craigslist!
