Tomorrow makes one year that my wife and I have owned Second Edition Book Shop. To celebrate we're having wine and refreshments for the ladies and I'm bringing some beers. It's from 5-7pm. I figure we can cruise from there as I'm around the corner from Tower Shops.

It has a floor window so the passengers can see the asphalt. Kinda like a reverse sunroof. BTW I'm building a 12 window Kombi.

All and all it was one coat of sealer, two base and four coats of clear. Now on to wet sanding and buffing! Thanks to Tim Hesse for helping me out and guiding through the whole process and not letting me slack where I could. And thanks to Jason Stratton for the booth hook up. I hope to have her back on the road in a few months Very Happy

Thanks for the props guys! The color is called Grey/Green it's an 07 Nissan color. Actually real close to mouse grey but with some olive drab green mixed in.
