Hahaha! That's awesome brother. Maybe so. I didn't think I'd like the striaght black panels as much as I do. Part of it is a bit of "victory" in that I fought for 6 days through painting in humid conditions to get the somewhat smooth finish the panels now have. I delt with crazy amounts of "blushing" and am ashamed to admit how many attempts I made, cans I used, and evil thoughts that went through my head in the process, ha! I DID, however, learn a lot about painting versus humidity, due to some google searching, so that was a big win.

Long story short, I'm going to wait a couple of weeks to think the idea of Milano paint over, and I'll be letting the black paint cure fully in the interim. This way, it won't pull off when/if I place painters tape on it for a few days to get the Milano accents on...
