The color looks a little bit weird since I had the table covered with red paper.

Yep, I'm pretty happy with it.

I'm also feeling pretty decent about how the match on the roof is looking now. I think the white gets darker the thinner it gets - as it gets closer to the SWR paint underneath.

I'm looking forward to getting the roof finished so I can move onto another project.

Maybe you should bring the So-22 to Kelly Park and we'll recreate the photo?

The paint match on the drivers side I think I can live with.

The original paint lightens up quite a bit right down the center of the roof line - I might try respraying that side later.

Tent.....

I don't know why these tent mounts look so rough - they are the only pair of six screw ones I have.

Looking great Greg. The paint match looks decent.

My stomach does a flip flop when I see the tent mounts and drill bits. Damn, you are serious....
