I'm looking for suggestions, ideas and thoughts. I've previously painted parts separate and assembled. I'm considering painting the bolt together areas, inside the curls and bottom edges then assemble and paint as one unit. What do you think?? Thanks prior Dan

I got a couple small runs......but I got one huge one when I tried to doctor up a spot where I hit with the airline. That torqued me off but I will fix. I opened up a Photobucket account and placed some pictures I had lost when Webshots went down. Pics below. Dan Bed pic #1 Bed pic #2 Pic #3
