I took outside for a few minutes and it did not take long for the Santa Ana winds to blow dust on it.

Thanks. You are right about that. The good thing is my brother was helping me out as we knocked it out.

Thanks. I will have to double check on the paint code. I get the feeling it is vivid black as I did notice exactly what you are referring to?

Great job.
