go to photo bucket and load your pics there and go to your right to the last one and click on img code and copy and we love pics you will never make us bored

or if you want you can just resize them

Dont resize in photo bucket.  Let the forum size it for you.

I'll work on the pics when I get home tonight...

Thanks for the paint compliment...it's Dupont Chromabase...
The orig code was 72 red...when I sampled it in the Dupont it looked "purply" - not good...
sooo...we did a chromagraph dealywhopper on a buffed out spot and it's alot redder ( 24 years of fading...)...I get alot of oohs and ahhhs on the paint mix...
