              Yup... the white, red, and green are Krylon Laquer, and the Silver is Dupli-Color Silver Metalic Laquer... And the "Smoke Metalic" for the window is Dupli-Color also... Then two coats of Dupli-Color clear gloss laquer, and two coats of Dupli-Color Clear High Gloss Top-Coat Laquer...

              I was having trouble getting the clear to remain "clear"... kept fogging over for some reason... I may have had too high of humidity or something...

              Oh... and a LOT of very expensive and pain-staking masking was involved... (expensive because of the vinyl masking striping tape I had to use...) I REALLY need to simplify my paint jobs! Now I know why some of you just use a single color and decals!!

                        Awe man now it's out... Now that I think about it "good buddy" is not what one wants to be refered to @ all acording to my trucker friends. You did guess correctly. I had planned to run N-2 but the P-Mono is what I have decided. I am still going to run that big Cat in P Offshore. Some one has to run a cat. I'll step up.

                            I never said the top spot was mine. All I'm concerned with is keeping the right side down. The heats on you now to to back up the smack ya put down

                              Darin, what type of undercoat did you use? a laquer primer? if so what color?
