 Little bit of a secret yet Andy - I'll give this much, it won't be black and most likey more than one color  ;)
 It took it's first step towards that today, I left it at Lull's.

OMG, color blocking holds entrance in grey Seattle. Abandon ship now.

Actually, considering your artistry, I'm surprised you've never done something in this line yourself...

 To really do it well takes a very substantial investment in painting equipment, even just what I use for the model trains was expensive - Custom cabinet, enclosed fan, ducting to outside, compressor, lighting and airbrush.........

 I've been emailing with Marty Bell and will settle on a choice in the next week, I'm excited!

Oh yeah, and the Hiwatt fizzled and died at a rehearsal recently... time to finally out those '69 caps...

I'm sure whatever Mark chooses will be modest and reserved, since he's never flashy.
