And, since I am impatient and wanted to drive it home today... (plus we only had the shop for the weekend)

Sam was outside when we came rolling up to the house. As I rolled to a stop, he walked out in the street (all smiles) and gave me a high-5. Pretty cool dad moment. He didn't even know we had painted it until we rolled up.

Sam and my dad...

NOW... for the part some of you may not agree with. So, we had a perfectly good base coat paint job. Not a single run in the paint (I was even surprised) I decided to faux-tina it. So, after letting it cure all afternoon, I went to work highlighting the areas I wanted lighter.
