I had an excellent garage day today I just wanted to share with y'all. A few weeks ago I got wind of Quickjacks. One video had a fella speaking to the great deal he got because they were an open box. Something around $1200 I believe. I recently sold a motorcycle, so from that windfall I hit up their website and scored a 5000lb kit for $1150 shipped. The convenient part was the "open box" aspect meant it was already used so all the fittings were already installed. A few quarts of ATF, some fancy acrobatics to bleed the air and bam!



Tons of room with the shorter blocks:




I also wanted to play around with some old paint I had lying around. It's House of Kolor. I was going to use it to paint a Harley I used to have. That was 5 years (and 4 bikes) ago. Since I'll be painting my Cobra I just waned to play around with some scrap aluminum. No sanding or primering, I just wanted to practice laying down layers from base to clear. This color actually has a midcoat that you add the green pearl. I followed the TDS's to a tee and I think it came out nicely:



Decent clear coat too



The hilarious part is I used that $15 Harbor Freight purple HVLP gun for all of it.
