    I don't know of any Southeast members in here yet. I used to work down that way though.

    I worked kind of in the boonies, A lodge called Ultima Thule. Latin for Land Remote Beyond All Reckoning. Closest thing to us was Mcarthy. I've never been down as far as sitka or juneau to date, but that's the farthest southeast I've been anyway. Beautiful country!

    Ohh ok, I was stationed in Petersburg for a little over two years. Went to Juneau plenty if times. Miss it and can't wait until I can transfer back up there.

    Well I'm not due to transfer until 2014. After that I'm going to try and head back up that way. Only problem is, is that there really aren't any places around the Anchorage area for me to get stationed. I think the closest place would be Valdez or Homer but even then idk how far away that is.

    Hey Ben, what kind of paint did you use for blacking out your reflectors? Just any spray paint good for plastics?

    Homer is about 4+ hour drive from Anchorage in the summer. I've never made the trip in the winter but I'd add another hour or two if the roads are bad. I've never been to Valdez but I think its a 6+ hour drive. Again, more in the winter.

    Did you sand them down before priming? Or is that what the adhesion promoter is for? Sorry, I've never painted plastic before lol. Other than plastidip anyway...

    Valdez is about 4 hours driving above the speed limit.
    Homer is about 4 and a half doing the same. However, that's pretty far above the speed limit hahaha

    Sweet, thanks. I'm now just debating to completely paint the shrouds black or to add some color matched red to them. I suppose I could not paint them at all...but I dunno. I'll wait to see what it all looks like in person I suppose. I'm already antsy haha.
