    I love the way the finished product, and have been real pleased with the way everything turned out. First thing I did was get a new horse hair brush, and an inexpensive jar for mixing. As mentioned earlier, I weighed each product net weight, and figured something like 65% of product for the front, & 35% to the rear when separating. I didn't want to feel rush, and didn't know what to expect. Took a scuff pad, and rubbed them down really good then cleaned with the brake cleaner. Which ever way you go prep is the key. I taped them off, and was off to the races. Ended up doing 4 coats only because the paint goes a long way, and being in Texas the applied coats were drying pretty fast. Total time to prep and paint was only 2-3 hrs.
