I taped and sanded Friday night for about an hour. Then put 3 coats on Satureay. Just 5 minutes at a time. Ran out of paint and then did two coats Sunday.

Awww thanks Bro. I was scared to do it, the first sanding and the first mist of paint scared me to death. Then when I took the tape off I was afraid of what I might find. But it came out nice!
