That makes me think...
I never considered the insides would be powder coated, as I thought it was for cosmetics anyway. I did want to get it done, but didn't want to hold Darkstar up and was struggling with whether I wanted it done, what color, etc, etc! Anyway, do you recommend a particular aluminum epoxy for the cosmetics on the outside and what I should do to polish the insides??
Darkstar indicated they would ship by week's end, so I assume they are already on their way to me, otherwise I might consider asking what it would cost to have you polish the insides for me.
I can appreciate what you are saying about money. Living in Cleveland, OH, I see the angst of poverty every day. While I do fairly well, I work hard to stay there and my business tends to florish in weak economies. As a native Californian, I don't think I could afford to live there today! My opinion is we're due for a new revolution. Our present Democracy no longer works as designed and we've reverted to an imperial system that rewards bad behavior, not hard work. OK, I'm not even going to get on that soapbox right now!
