Looks great! What in the world is a sun gun?

The 3m Sun Gun:
The 3M™ PPS™ SUN GUN™ Color Matching Light can be used throughout the refinish process to: Identify pre-paint defects such as pin holes, sand- scratches, etc. Choose alternate colors from various chip decks. Verify color match using paint spray outs. Check for complete coverage or full hiding. Identify post-paint defects such as sand-scratches, swirl marks, etc. http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/e...er/output_html |
Man, that's awesome! I'm definitely going to have to come to you when spring rolls around so you can work your magic on my neglected Boxster.
