    Well, we don't have that shade of grey for mini van...anyway all of paint is waterborne, you would have to bake it @ 350 degrees for at least 45 minutes to get it cure. It's no joke either all the bodys go through ovens.

A kohls that was opening up had to close it's doors because so many people came by to apply.

    I am a Stealth Assassin working undercover for the CIA. They send me around the world to kill highly influential leaders of communistic, socialistic, and Nazi-istic countries. I must make each kill look like an accident, suicide, or frame it on Iran. It is a very dangerous job. I have been shot, stabbed, electrocuted, frozen, hung, poisoned, and burned all for the sake of protecting our country. I make James Bond look like Barney Fife.

    I am currently undercover working as a civil field engineer for a contractor that builds coal and gas power plants. This current project is a 700 Megawatt coal plant using a supercritical pulverized coal fired boiler and Siemens turbine. There will also be a highly advanced Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization system (WFGD) that removes 98% of the SOx gasses that contribute to "global warming" :crazy:.

    The utmost secrecy is needed on your behalf due to the very delicate nature of my missions. I ask that nobody say anything about who I am or what I do. The leaking of this information could spell disaster for the entire world, thus bringing Armageddon much sooner than God had intended!

    Farewell and Godspeed

    I establish the repair capability on the V-22 Osprey aircraft for the Fleet Readiness Center at Cherry Point, N.C. as a government civilian. No military branch would accept me or I would have joined. If you don't know what an Osprey is, look at my avatar. Need more info, Google it. It's an amazing aircraft. Obviously, it's a new aircraft generally speaking. It's been around for over 20 years, but not as an aircraft put into production for military use until now.

    Interesting to read everyone's professions, lots of military and service people here, hats off to you guys! I spent years at a VW/Mazda/Subaru dealership as parts manager, then service manager and finally service director and fixed operations, but got out of the retail car business before it crashed luckily.

    I moved into the transportation business and now my partner and I own the largest taxicab company in Indiana, as well as taxicab companies in Pensacola and Ft. Walton Beach, FL. I purchase all our vehicles at auction, have a used car dealer license, occasionally buy a sell a few cars and trucks for fun. As a side venture I'm also partners in a tavern in downtown Indy.
