    Once they're reinforced they're good. Stock they'll bow right in on the center. But I think I remember a few years ago you welded angle iron on yours, they'll be beefier than most that way

    I concur. Thank goodness I also ordered the professional gun that they sell. After the first bottle of Raptor, I switched out, and it was night and day!!

    I'm sure this has been asked before, but where'd you get the grill or did you modify it yourself?

    Do you think that will shoot okay in a HVLP gun? It seems pretty thick to me, and I was adding about 3 oz of reducer to my mix, to get it to flatten a bit more.

    Deck paint is still drying but she's pretty minty. Gonna be nice to use it to load the Sequoia axle tomorrow and take it to my friends place to plasma cut all of the old mounts off.
