Thx
It was really tough. You mask the windows (inside and outside), scuff the body with a scotchbrite (both sides), then you spray it (all of it).

Yes, I painted it on the outside.

I'm not sure why people use the phrase "pig slow" when pigs can easily outrun a human and are surprisingly quick & agile...you've heard the saying "slicker than a greased pig"?
Thanks. And point taken. I always thought pigs were slippery, I never considered them particularly speedy. My brother had a pig for an FFA project. My mom named her "Matilda". I called her "Lunch".
