Sounds fine to me. The only time I think you may have a problem is if you drive over some gravel and it chips or cracks. Paint has poor impact resistance. Talking about impact resistence, I think I might try spot-powder- coating today with my new heat gun and see if it works out. It just might, providing I don't blow the powder around. If I do, it might explode, and then I will never know if you can powder coat with a heat gun, because I will be blown up. :-P Matt #1604 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "austinbrumley" <austinbrumley@xxxx> wrote: > I have a quick question.
