Painted Kirkham

[maurice19]

Bill,

I haven`t had any problems at all with #318 in 10 years on the road.

Driving mostly inland off the ocean and a few trips in the Monterey fog.

Paint is beautiful , but takes a lot more care. I windex my cars body
every 4 or 5 weeks.

I like 'em bare too, believe me. I had it that way since '09. But the 2 biggest motives were...
1) I became friends with McCluskey's paint wiz
2) durring the most recent rebrush, I did a horrible job and over brushed the stripes, considered brushing out the stripes, and then thought, "Hmmmm....."

Maybe now people with think it's glass and won't touch it

Really? Those are two lousy reasons. You decided you wanted to spend $xx,xxx on paint job for your Kirkham because you became friends with a painter and your a failure with Scotch Brite pad?

Sounds like your typical "I joined a cult" scenario and your using the "diminshed capacity" or Twinkee defense.

And what color is it really? If it's black, then I may be able to forgive you. If it's red, white or blue, then I've lost all respect.

And if it's beige, then you're a dummy.

It is "Hawaiian Black Sand."

Let me see...

Cult? I'd say the 'cult' has to do with unfinished Kirkhams.
Or.....maybe I'm joining a more exclusive cult-I mean club?
Just a change.
As for color, you'll have to wait and see. Now I have to contact Pat and find out exactly what shade of black his rollbar padding is...

Personally, I would never join any cult that would have someone like me as a member anyway.
