It will look very nice and should still hold up very well. Just in the case that it needs a little re-work due to dings or scratches (heaven forbid!) it is a little more work. $1000 for all of that is a very good price. The prep work is the real killer in labor. If I could afford to have some one else do it, I sure would. Luckily, since I have so many painting professional friends, as long as I do the prep work my paint job is only $200 (besides materials, whcih I already bought). But I've got to do all of the pounding, filling, and grinding, and priming myself to get it ready for them. So unfortunately, it won't be painted right after I'm done blasting. I'm shooting for next weekend. And don't worry, I'll heed your device about taping up the column!VespaRoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530073989817933790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504203385334572128.post-29263531569212907782008-01-23T16:54:00.000-08:002008-01-23T16:54:00.000-08:00Hey Jeremy, thanks for the kind words!

I bought the "How to restore and maintain your Vespa Scooter" book and they say up and down to use oven cleaner. Oh well, I guess I will just start using the odorless paint thinner that I bought at the same time.VespaRoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530073989817933790noreply@blogger.com
