Well I just have to report that the sherwin williams exterior latex isworking out fine.Got two coats of gray on the fuse and it's looking real good. Nopinholes, went on easy and smoothed right out after applying with abrush. Now I'll have them mix me up some yellow andwe'll see how that goes.Carl L.________________________________________________________________________________

Dick, After talking with some paint people, My understanding was gray hadenough uv protectant in it and with the amount in the yellow, it should befine. I plan on hangering the piet so I'm hoping they are right.Carl----- Original Message -----
