    At least you've got a spell of decent weather (for a change) whilst you're over here. Hope you have a great time. Waiting for paint to harden can be hard. There's always the temptation to start sanding too soon.

    Maybe try something like this, or a variant, to avoid the 'finger in stream' syndrome. Others on here have used them with success.

    Yea Weirdbits is right, i used a bit more expensive spray can handle, essential if you are using a lot of cans, what it does is stop you from pressing the nozzle forward where the spray can hit the top of the rim, causing the blobs.

    Hi all,
    A few quick question re pickup sizes ...

    Do all of the upgrade pickups on offer thru pitbull have the same physical size ?

    I measured mine to be 33mm wide x 72mm long (cover size). Does this make them"mini-humbuckers" ?
    Is that a standard size ?

    Thanks in advance ...

    Hi witto, yes there mini humbuckers and theres not too many opptions for upgrades its either $ 50 or $ 300 a pair and not much inbetween, i ended up using lace nitro hemis and they were even smaller so i had to make some new pickup rings
    Good luck
