fasteddiee that works for you but as a shop we could never stand behind our work like that, if we where to do that it will chip and does not offer the durrabilty of powder... there is just nothing to bite to... i would at least sugest that you scuff with 220 grit... for someone like you that is no big deal cause when it chips and flakes off you can just recoat it... where we never want our customers to ever have to worry about that...

brypink - 100% man just shoot me a PM and i am more than happy to help out!
