Chill Woody, nothing that can't be fixed. It's happened to me a couple times, sure does pi** you off at the time, but you just gotten let her dry and fix her.

Then after it's fix you have a great story to tell...."See this spot right here, well my da** gun dripped water here...he** can't even tell it now can ya?, That's cause I'm good."

Looking good!!

Well, the Wife got me side tracked today and it's probably a GOOD thing cuz it's 106? outside today. Stayed up to late last night to get up at the crack of dawn so it looks like I'll paint her in the morning. I did get all the bubbles sanded out late last night and I think she's gunna be fine. We'll know for sure tomorrow.

Dang it's hot in your neck of the woods! How do you get anything done? Looks like you might have a small window of opportunity in the morning. Good luck on the FINAL coat!

If you mean the Vinyl, I sent it back and they are sending me another color that they SAID was a closer match to what I had. I am Anxiously awaiting its arrival next week. Looking for a Cheap Craigslist Sleeper Sofa right now to get the foam mattress out of for the seats. I priced foam the other day and it was going to cost $175 bucks for my seats. I can get a whole sofa for $50 on CL and then turn around and sell the couch with out the mattress for $25 bucks.

Couldn't remember if you had got the new vinyl back.

Locking the sleeper sofa idea away for future use that's good.

The colors in some of your pictures are a little different -- which would you say is closest to what it actually is?

Wasn't there a TV show

Have gun Will Tavel!

Only mine's a spray gun! I used to paint Oil Field Truck Cabs when I was 19 for a company that built drilling rigs. The guy that taught me to shoot paint had sniffed a few to many laquer rags and you had to catch him first thing in the morning if you wanted to learn anything cuz once he started sniffin those rags he started talkin gibberish and you never knew what he was sayin but sober or HIGH he COULD SHOOT Paint!!!!! I learned a lot that summer.
