Yup, good find. It is impressive as is the dip process. You would have to commit to more than a couple of items to justify the cost on either, or get rich like Jay.

well depending on how it would hold up - new reproductions are about $20/pair.. and thats not even correct ones for the 64 1/2 cars. i would much rather refinish an original part that just has finish issues than get something else. hell - even if 99% of the people never notice, i will know, and sometimes that is enough

the video is pretty cool - looks like you can do different colors too....

You can do designs, pictures of your kids ... anything you want to pay for

Round here certain crowds like the $100 or $1,000 bill design, the pot leaf or the skulls   ::)
