They are being installed next Tuesday...just one short week from today. I'm going to miss our little talks once this is all over. 
BTW, your company isn't hiring product guys, are they?
Looking forward to seeing the result on Tuesday

I went to pick up the roll hoops this morning and didnt like what I saw. I had used rattle can primer to save some time and money and it had some pinholes and surface imprefections that really showed through the chrome paint. The painter and I decided that it really needed to be stripped and reprimered with catalyzed primer to get the results that i wanted. So, he is going to do that. Damn it.
Needless to say, they wont be going in today. Sorry bout that, I'm pretty disappointed, but this does give me a chance to tint the clear when he repaints them and go for more of a black chrome look. It'll be attempt #2 in a couple of weeks. Until then...keep the faith.
