Supposed to be 61 up in Detroit today? That's kinda crazy for mid-February. Been hot done here in southern Florida.

What spatter paint did you use Ken. They say the GM stuff is water soluble. I don't have any leaks in my trunk but throw a cooler or other wet stuff in there and you never know. So I covered it with Krylon satin clear. It looks good and has been there for at least 5 years, maybe more. I lose track of what I did when to the Chevelle.

I used the GM kind and then 3 coats of Rust-oleum Crystal Clear Gloss. Spatter paint sure stinks but it looks great.

Got over an inch of rain here yesterday. We're about 8 miles north of Homestead, Fl, about 30 miles from Key Largo. All the keys got hammered along with Miami and Ft Lauderdale. Guess that's not bad, first rain since we've been here, except I've got 2 leaks at top of windshield in the motorhome. Not sure if it's the windshield or a couple of the marker lights up higher. There are 5 across the top front, leaks are pretty close to being under 2 of them. Guess that's my project for the day. Supposed to 79 and no rain.
