OK, but why did he get orange peel? Not a clean surface to start or rattle can 
paint underneath? I'm asking this because I am soon to be painting Murray and I 
want to know how much cheating I can do and still get away with a decent 
finish. I don't trust the Duplocolor. I have seen fairly good jobs from it, but 
with all the rubbing and multiple coats, I'm not sure that it's any easier that 
two-stage.

        Orange peel I think is what he meant Denis.

A real improvement. Why is the paint peeling? It's coming of or crackling? 
Did you use the Duplocolor?

granted i now only work 3 miles away from home, today i drove hershey, i 
went by the gas station and filled him up (which made him run 100 times 
better(he had a gallon of 2 month old gas))

then i took the long way into work (made it a 10 mile drive)

things i need to do:
adjust the timing (the flat spot is horrible right now)
adjust the hockey stick (i'm confusing 4th for 2nd)
change the oil
install bumpers
clean out the inside (looks like a mechanics been living there)
and finally....ride (but say "ride" like a biker  
riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide)

he has a fair amount of peel, and could use another coat of paint but after 
discussing it with diana i am going to use the cheapo paint and practice 
till i get it right...who knows t@tp he may be red and white, toad suck (for 
those who go there) he may be pink...it's all about practicing painting.

here he is chilling in the parking lot at work:

and here is the photo album so you guys can remember what he used to look 
like and what all we've gone through incase you're bored at work or 
something:
