MPTech:
Got your PM, Thanks, I'll call him tomorrow.

Sides - two coats (of many):

This will be a two-tone cab, so I decided to start with the sides first - everything else will be black.

I'm using foam rollers which are working great BUT... I didn't realize the first coat would be so thin.  The foam rollers definitely don't coat like a normal "fuzzy" roller for painting walls and such.  After the first coat dried, I put on a second coat and the color really came out nice.  I realize now that after sanding, it will probably take numerous coats to get the consistent color and smoothness.  I'm not going for glass-finish, just smooth with no jaggies.  (Definitely recommending the foam roller treatment to anyone preparing for this portion - the application looks nice and it doesn't have that textured look using 'fuzzy' rollers or brushes.)

That's looking really nice.  The green is eye-catching.
What are you planning to do for buttons?  I'm assuming some green/lit buttons, or better yet a green trackball.

Your right, that IS looking good. Keep up the good work.

The blue T-Molding really sets it off nicely.  :laugh2:  (sorry, couldn't resist)
