    Thanks.. I have to run to the city this morning and then by this evening I hope to have my trailer all done up. I just finished it and painted it in rat styling.. flat black with steel wheels outter rings in flat black as well with centers in red. Now I just have to lay out a few "simple" designs and cross my fingers.. well not exactly that would make it really hard to stripe ( I figured I would catch myself on that one Ive seem some earlier posts that were quick to throw in the obvious response..hahaha)
    Either or.. Keep everyone posted if they like it or not :)
    Thanks

    To explain my self.. someone asked in a post "how can I trim my brushes" someone responed "with a sharp knife" then "a sharp ax" LOL

    I love the painfully obvious.
