Somebody mentioned someone that does finish work in here. Who was that? I do not want to mess with that right now and might consider letting someone else spray the nitro.

Mike Joe White does superb poly finishes and if you are interested PM me for a phone number.

BTW Cat Poly is what Taylor, Turner, and Mario use.

I am guessing Hesh has PM'd you on this If not PM me and I will send you the break down. price depends on a few variables line attached neck, loose neck and bosy only plus additions for burst and edge shading.

prep sand through 220p. joe will pore fill and seal.

I just visited Joe White's shop yesterday. It's a new, clean and efficiently organized facility. He is not only an artist, you will never meet a nicer fellow. I would highly recommend giving Joe a PM/call.
