    Application:Optimum Coatings

    I'm using Opti-Guard in the video, but the instructions are the same. You should have a little more time and/or be able to have larger sections with Opti-Coat 2.0 than you'll see me using with OG, but in high temps/humidity OC can flash pretty fast too. The car is a 2004 Viper with lots of...

    Opti Bond Sprayer Option (no compressor)

    Hi All, I recently got a PM asking what the smallest compressor necessary for applying Opti Bond was. Because paint/air guns use a large quantity of air, you really need a 10-20 gallon model that can continuously produce 40-60 psi. If this is not in the budget, I have an alternative for you...

    Which edge pad is comparable to LC orange

    I just switched to the EDGE 2k and see they only have 5 foam pads. Is one similar to the LC orange for med cut? I know the yellow EDGE is for med cut but it leaves considerable marring itself, or should I just go to wool at that point? Thanks, Chris

    REVIEW: Danase Dirt Dropper (AG should get these)

    Hey guys, I just got in an order from Bob at Danase and thought I'd share my new joy with you.

It is made from a much more durable material, has a side scrubber area, a lower stance in the...

    100th Ann. H-D Fatboy Custom

    This was one NICE bike, although quite neglected. Like the title states, this is number 112 out of 200 of a limited 100th anniversary Fatboy run. The saddle bags were removed to access the rear drive-train, wheel, and fender. I probably should have removed the seat too, but there were time...
