The last time I pressure washed my kohler I can see what looks like yellow under the black paint would that be primer?

Make sure you use engine paint 500 degrees F. Regular paint will just burn.

Well I was talking to my friend and he was the one who brought it up. I started thinking I just wanted others opinion. I do like one better but I want to get others opinions first. It would get away from all the red. Get at least some black in there. Can't go wrong with flat black.

That also is the color combination of the Blackhoods.

Yes that is primer that Kohler used.

Did you get any more done today Justin?

And what kind of paint did you use for red and the color?

Oh ya I was driving it around a bit until I went deaf. No muffler. I used performance red made by Dupli-color. I used a paint gun and you have to prime with this paint.

Don't worry all in good time. (tomorrow) Patience is the key young one. As Yoda would say, "Patience young one."
"Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate...leads to suffering."
And since I started:
Do or do not, there is not try. Wars not make on great. Judge me by my size do you?

I had to.

Cool Justin! Looking great! Hope you like how the black contrasts the old Raider when she's back together! Can't wait to see more photos as you go along.
