Excellent. Thank you kindly for the advice!
I just went back and looked over your PBA-4 thread again. I like your finish and the texture from what the pics showed so I'd be happy to have a similar result. I definitely thought the nitro cans would go a little further than 4/3 coats!
I get what you mean about the cost.. though I thought at least if this thing doesn't sound all that great and it doesn't get much use it should still look nice hanging on my wall!

Off to the big green shed after work
