Well, got the first coat of gloss black on it this weekend.

The transition from flat grey primer (which hides a lot, visually) to the black was a little disheartening. Let's just say a true professional would have much more work ahead (ripples & waves) before it was deemed "good"...

But it's "good enough" for me.

I was hoping to have it done today, but nope! And I'm going to be away for the next 2 days. So no more pics until Wednesday at the soonest.

Except for this one, binger's request to see the view from directly behind:
