He's one of my employees. He was not real happy I picked one of the hottest days so far to do this I guess.

Well, I got to cut down the 2 coats I had on the truck from Friday yesterday. I was hoping to put down the last coat and clear but the humidity just got to high. I'll try for Monday early morning before it gets too hot.

Here's a few pics after wet sanding

I think I'm liking that color. Dark colors do show everything though. Nothing wrong with a 350 either. Stick, auto, auto/overdrive?

Here's some pictures after wet sand, last coat, and clear. Just have the bed and some small parts to do now. It was still pretty cloudy in this area of the shop after these. Will try to get it rolled out into the sun today.

Yes! I wonder what a vintage Cub Cadet would look like painted that color?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
