    POR 15, CARC, Rusfree...here we go!

    Will that not make a very crisp line between colors??? I would like to be able to have a little transition between colors, like the factory paint. Does anyone know if a automotive gun like a SHARPE model 71 can produce a tight enough pattern to be able to trace the existing pattern??

    Need a little rev action over here!

    I have this thing with my M1009, I get a GEN2 light indicator on when I start the truck, but if I give it a little (and I mean little) throttle the light goes out and stays out, probably nothing, but how can I fix this??? THANKS, -SuperchargedRS
