I have just read that there are welding sticks that take finishes well, but I am looking at TR Gun Kote so color won't be an issue. George Roghaar lives around the corner from me, he will do a great job and no shipping cost.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!
