    Thanks for the kudos gang :HandshakeI appreciate it.The stripe really was a must since I wont use trim rings on em now.It was one of those "I hope this looks good when its done" things.I'm glad I did em this way.

    Whoa! I've to admit that when I first read you were going to paint a blue stripe on them I thought they were gonna look weird. But now you're showing us these pictures all I can say is GODDAMN!!! They really stand out with the new paint and the blue pinstripe.

    Congratulations!

    Looks pretty sharp Pete. I like it. That's got to take some steady hands. - Matt
