          Red coats 2, 3 and 4 applied. No runs drips or errors. Picked up a bit of dust on top of tank but it will sand out with the clear. Overall for using a 1985 model binks siphon mini gun and leftover aircraft paint, very happy. Now I will let it dry till tomorrow and then spray the white and do the pinstripes. White is leftover jet-glo matterhorn white and got one shot imitation gold for the stripes

              The old binks mini is good for small jobs, it did fine for this and will be fine for the white. Gonna do the pinstripes by hand, been 15+ years since i've tried em

                Finished taping off for the stripes and got them shot with 3 coats. Cleaning up some edges.

                    If anyone has a 78 tank with stock or repro pinstripes I could use a hand.

                    Need the width measurements of the stripes, and also distance in between them and the distance from the indentation. Just one set of measurements from say the mid point top of the indent would do, I can interpret from there. Thanks in advance.

                              Except I haven't had a chance to get that far. I've been filing out a tiny little washer for a fuel mixture screw.
