[Johnson] Viking II panels

Sun, 4 Apr 2004 12:52:02 -0400

Morning Mark
I'm giving thought to doing just the panel. One thing, however, redone
panels probably won"t exactly match the old unfinished cab. Color will be
close but panel finish will be gloss. At present I have no satin clearcoat
that I will use, I talked W/ Sherwin Williams & DuPont with disappointing
results. So I'm still looking. Gloss panels is what I'm known for anyway. I
will get back to all sometime this week on Vik-II panel only pricing.
Warm regards
Dee
