Thanks for all of the feeback; positive, negative and brutal, everyone. I knew I'd get clobbered over this but had to put it out there anyway. Feedback and others input helps in deciding what works and what doesn't. Definitely not getting scared away by the brutallity of some responses... since I've been just as critical on other customs I've seen that irk me. I'm thinking about throwing another coat of PEARL over the spots to make them not stand out as much... we'll see... NEB5-
