Hey Miguel,

Something that might be worth trying (if you can with the paint you're using), maybe trying adding a little more thinner. One day I was shooting some paint at work - nothing as fancy as what you're doing - and I ended up with orange peel. One of the sheetmetal guys suggested adding a bit of thinner (the stuff I was using is actually a 2 part polyurethane paint system that comes premeasured in 1oz containers). To me it makes sense because more thinner should help the paint "flow" once on the part. Or I could be completely wrong. But It may be worth trying to avoid having to spend more time wet sanding.

Just a thought. Keep up the good work and good luck. She's looking real good.

Yup thats my carbide bit too! I need to reface it with the diamond face drill doctor, I have a whole drawer full of dull drill bits to sharpen up.

Got my Sidi's today - knowing from a pair of Italian shoes that I was going to need the extra wide size, they still cramp my toes! big toe is ok but the little toe is all cramped - I double checked to see if they might have shipped the wrong boot nope. The boot is very stiff too, gonna have to wear them around the house for a few days to break them in. Italians must have long narrow feet cause my half patty half mexican feet are too flat and too short! Left boot is too tight - right boot is just right!

Where did you pick your boots up from? I ask because a member of another message board that I frequent, ordered a pair of Sidi Mega Somethings from NE. He had the same problem - one side was just right, the other was "off". Talked to NE and they appearently sent out a new pair with a return label for the first pair. He was satisfied with the fit of the second pair, kept them, and sent the first pair back.

Something to look into maybe if its not too late.
