2019 Paint Graphic Completed
Decided to use my wideformat printer to print full size stencils for painting the Red, White and Blue Graphic.

Yesterday the final painting was complete. Took it for a ride today. Added less than 7lbs of paint total when done.

Brushed it on with a small paint brush. Total cost for paint: Less than $100 USD including supplies.

Here are some photos of progress and final look.
