Sheesh. What a difference. This just goes to show that if you mess up painting something twice and finally get it right on the third time, you can really have something that looks good.
This and its driver side counterpart were the final things needed to be painted/restored in order to be finished filming the Saturday Projects video about learning to paint! Very exciting stuff.
I literally just finished writing the script for that video and I'm off to record narration here shortly. Hopefully the video will be edited down well before Saturday, and I'll have it posted here early for your viewing pleasure.
