Let's qualify those scores with bifocals,trifocals or regular ::) Maybe if the cursor looked like a prick punch my score would be better(3.65).

Two things about powder coating that would make me shy away from it for models 1 Faraday cage effect. Because of the electrostatic charge the powder does not get attracted into sharp corners and will show light spots. 2 Creep back. Powder will not stay on a sharp corner and will also show a...
