OK. One sneak peak photo of paint job

Here is a single pic but the metallic doesnt really show, it looks brighter than it actually is too because of the flash, when it's all finished on the weekend I will take a pic in natural sunlight, no flash. Until then, waddya think?

and GT stripes ...... and you're gonna need to start chroming those "Add-ons" like finderscope, focuser, etc.

I can just see a foxtail blowing in the wind......

Looking great Dennis, can't wait to see it in the flesh as such, roll on new moon!!

Looks very nice.. I told my wife you were getting it done, and now she's suggesting I do it to my rusty tube as well!

I don't think i'll bother tho.. by the time my tube has rusted through I'll have hopefully upgraded to a C14 or a 16" LB
