Oh, and I put a 4th and 5th coat of Zaino on (after these photos).I think this coming weekend, I'll throw on a coat of Adam's Buttery Wax and then go take some REAL photos with the Nikon D40.

It is nice coming out of school and seeing the sun reflect off the paint. No swirls. No cobwebs. Just the sun.
