me too.... 
he needs some handpainted details, it totally makes mine
all Mutt work is backburnered for a couple weeks, as I'm concentrating on getting some painting done in the Dungeon...

Had a sticker on the outside of the windshield of my dad's lotus for close to two years before taking it off (not ruined just got tired of it). No problems with the windshield wiper. Where it hit was actually just the cleanest/best looking part in the end!
good to know.... it's definitely backburnered for awhile.... maybe in the spring I'll give it another go...

That's gonna feel so much better working in a clean shop. I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. Pulled out the workbench to find a 6" mat of grinding dust, some sockets and a couple of beer bottles. 
it's amazing what 15 yrs of welding soot will do to a ceiling...
freakin 3 coats on the ceiling...
hopefully tomorrow I can pretty much finish up the majority of the walls and ceiling....
I'm gonna do the floor too in a few weeks... it just looks sooooo sh*tty.... guess I'll start shopping around for some reasonably decent floor paint.... I really don't want to break the bank tho.. probably the cheapest gray catalyzed epoxy gig I can find..

Assuming you own this place, Paul?
nope, I rent... the joys of a bad marriage...
I get a pretty smokin deal tho...

I thought they all were.
No, scratch that, my dad did okay the second time around, 30+ years and still strong ... but both of mine were bad, so I'm still pretty cynical

Remember the daylight bulbs.
yup, props for that recommendation, I love them! it's such a better light...
i thought i saw a display the other day at home depot as i walked by the lighting section where they had the daylight bulbs and some new one, and the daylights still where the brightest, cleanest light.. forget what the others where called...
normally i do depot, but i read reviews on these fixtures at lowes and they sound good. they have a few in this style around that price, but these sounded good with the commercial ballasts... gonna do 4's this time as opposed to 8's...

I have the single pin 8' right now. Getting the bulbs home without the 'Burb would be a pain. When these go bad I'll be changing to 4' as well.

Thanks to the govment the 8' will be outlawed shortly. They are already after the t8 lamps next.
Paul good fixtures but they are made to be mounted in a drop grid ceiling. But you can just screw, toggle them to the drywall. Make sure you get the t8 style lamps and stay in the 5000k- 6500k region of light color and make sure you spend a little extra for good quality lamps, i.e. Sylvania.
Normally I would steer you to t5 fixtures but I think your lid in the dungeon is to low and you would get hotspots.
On the good side if the do outlaw fluorescent lamps most lamp makers already have LEDs in line to go right in place and they are brighter. And last 10 x longer.
