P. S.

 

Who masks the tuning pin areas?

Blast from the past!!  As I recall, to get that rate (in the 50s & 60s) you
did all the prep/masking yourself. The easiest way to tell an Earl Sheib job
was to look for some overspray on the tires, where the masking didn't quite
seal to the ground.

Kinda like those plate paint jobs where only the tuning pin area was masked,
and maybe the strings.

BTW, you're showing your age, Will... ;-}
