    This morning brought a few surprises and a status change from Perfect to....almost perfect.

    The streaking has gone, but a few runs have shown themselves. I did some touch up spray this morning it its almost all better....

    I think I will give it a week, then hit the whole thing ONE LAST TIME. regardless of what this morning brought, I still recommend the sprayer.

    You guys are cracking me up. In the Navy, we would say you are nuking it out, meaning you are making something WAY WAY harder than it needs to be. I am telling you, 29cent HF 2" paint brush, one bottle, buy 2 just in case, and away you go. No fancy technique, no sprayer and certainly no mess. The streaks clear out after a few days since it is a dye and not paint. I spent less than 2 hours doing the entire project. Just paint it on, wait a day or two, touch up any lighter spots, and voila, fancy black looking plastic

    If it isn't 100% to your liking, go spend a bunch of money on a sprayer and whatnot, then go over it again. If it does work, you saved a bunch of money and time. I don't see how there is any risk in this concept?

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    I must have bought the difficult version then ...I think my problem was not waiting long enough. I think the "wait a day or 2" part is the most important.

    The sprayer cost all of $5-$7 (depending on where you buy it)
