Quoted from Whysnow:

always a 1 upper in the group.
Must have been nice to have an already drilled and dimpled pf.
Please refrain from posting photos in this thread of your Viking restoration. The entire point was to document a single restoration.

Are we a little touchy this morning? Have you had your coffee yet? The guy politely asks for spinner decals, posts a couple pics and you pretty much tell him to F off??

I hope you can see the difference Bryan.

Sorry, man, but I don't. I didn't see his post that way at all.

Quoted from Whysnow:

that is the goofy thing about using only text as communication. Intent is hard to read.
Either way, this issue is over and the poster appologized/clarified their intent.

That's cool. I'll go mind my own business now.

Quoted from Whysnow:

stripped, painted (6 coats cause it crinkled after #3 due to not enough time between coats so I sanded down and started over.)
My mistake... learn from it when you do one
All new sockets. Ground braid swapped out and man I really like it better this way.
so bright and white!

I think the mistake you made was waiting a couple of days between paint coats. Once I've got something primed, I'll wait a couple days to sand. Once I paint, it's three coats all about 5 minutes apart. The first two are relatively light with the last one being a bit heavier to get perfect coverage.
