I would love to share these pictures with you all. How do you post pictures to the forum? Or, if your interested, reply with your email address, and I will send them off. I could not be happier with the results. The panels are super straight, and outside of a few minor clear coat runs, the finish is incredible. I wont have to sand and buff.
