Darkside of the Moon (Patrol)
Moon Patrol, Restorations April 30th, 2007It’s getting harder and harder to come up with post titles. 
I finally got some painting done on Moon Patrol. I decided to paint the black parts first using Rustoleum Satin Black in a can. Here’s a pic after I masked off the sides with some blue painters tape and brown paper from Staples:
Here it is painted after about 4 light coats:
The light reflecting off the black makes it look a little screwy, but it doesn’t look like that in real life…just in the land of make believe. I didn’t go nuts painting the inside, but I did hit it a bit here and there…I figured it didn’t matter much because it won’t be seen. I painted the back doors rested on nails against the garage wall…you can see one of them in the pic above.
I picked up the paint for the sides today at Home Depot, and will be painting them soon….I can hardly stand the excitement!

I like your progress posts, keep ‘em coming.
Also, I was going to mention, I run a few different wordpress blogs, and sooner or later they all got hit hard with Spam on the comments. They have plenty of plug-ins to help this, pretty much any captcha plug-in will pretty much cut it all down, just thought you may want to look into before it becomes a problem (one site I had got hit really hard over night with over 1000 comment spams left, I ended up having to just purge the comment table in mysql and start over).
If you can’t find a good one, let me know, I’m sure I still have a copy of the one I installed (really easy to install, and it was easy to implement).

Hey Mark,
Thanks! Glad you like them.
Good to know someone is reading. I haven’t been hit with a ton of spam like that, but I’m using a plug in called Akismet which supposedly catches most of it. I’ve seen it catch a few, and none have gone through yet knock on wood.

Yeah, I had Askimet installed too (I think it’s installed by default, at least in the wordpress installs I was using). Hope it doesn’t become a problem for you (one of the sites of mine that got hit was a blog for a family member that had very little traffic, no idea how the spammers found the site, but it didn’t take long for them to fill up the comments with crap).
