well i've been laid off for almost a month now, so thats why progress halted.

starting a new job next week making alot more money, so once i catch up on some bills, ill start finishing this up (didn't have money to be spending on fiberglass and stuff the last month)

this didnt cost much for the paint, so i finished sanding it pretty good, and hit it with some texture. i put about 3 coats on, looks REALLY clean in person IMO. they didnt make it in any colors i liked, so i hit it with this, and then im using a gray hammered satin finish over it. it looks like it matches my suede pretty well, and i like it better than black.

That's pretty neat. Never thought to do that. Because I dislike the textured paint but like the texture of it, so putting that hammered over it does the trick huh?

I only bought it for the color, if they had that shade in regular paint, I'd have gotten it over the hammered. Lol
