Hi my Friend, thank you for the compliment. On the end it is heavier than expected. It was my first paint job and the roof railing and pillars are the most complicated places I think. As the spray can for the under coat was empty I used a paint roller- THAT WAS A HUGHE FAILURE! The surface is than not smooth enough for the final coating. I was removing everything again by grinding. A couple of days. But now it comes to an aceptable surface.

Have seen your project has done a great step forward too and your shop -GREAT!!!
