Looks great as always! I love your work. That's a nice color too. Keep it up!

Great work there...man the paint looks really good. It's interesting you can tell when someone has done a good polishing job because the paint looks solid. Well done that color is looking good.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed your write up.

Great job! I thought VMG was supposed to be used by hand? Did you say no bonding issues with DG#105 after using CK VMG? By the way, this shot shows that you did an awesome job!!!

I look after some of these sabbs too they come up well out of interest what ratio did you use with the 303 to clean the top?.
By the way good work bud.
