Leave it smooth. Any plans on a color yet? Yes, I'm leaning to traditional Candy Apple Red over a Gold / Silver faded base. OR a Pagan Gold metal flake. Paul |

Man, that's sweet. Believe it or not I've never been a fan of the old Mercs but I'm a big fan of this one. You custom work is breathtaking.
