That looks great! Aside from sanding the letters and casting lines, was any other sanding needed before painting?

I was tempted to have him stop at gloss black (4th pic) but it's just so plain under the hood with all that black. It needed a "touch" of something to break up all the black.

I like it all aside from the addition of the "eyes" to the Jake logo.

Nice work though, carbon and black are unbeatable.

Re-assembled and ready to ship back to me...............but with South Carolina being under water, it could be weeks before UPS is caught up.

But there is much to be grateful for, as others have not been so lucky

Required a lot of sanding and prep to get it as smooth as you see it in picture #4. His attention to detail is phenomenal
