It's a Fuji FinePix S5100, it's small, looks like an SLR and takes amasing pictures. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the compliment

Rubber gloves are not just for when they ask you to turn your head and cough. Just a thought

I've gotta learn how to do this I just cant figure out how to cut and select around the wheels, how the hell do you select a circle perfectly and then paste it and resize it onto another image??? I'll do some reading I guess. I use "The Gimp" and not Photoshop.

I tried, I went thru 4 pairs per night but they would not last. Mind you I was using latex gloves. Never tried with rubber ones, do you mean the ones like for doing the dishes Not very comfortable. I guess I'll try that next, better than spending weeks with dark dirty fingers.

You might try nitrile (blue) gloves, they seem to hold up a bit better than the latex ones when I'm mucking around in the nasty bits.

I use those thick black gloves you can pick up at Lowes or home depot when stripping paint. So far no problems. They are a little cumbersome and your hands will sweat(have a thin fabric lining) a little but man are they a life saver!

Silver 51.(find me an na shot)

For sale here(click pict)

Ya, latex gloves with paint stripper is not the way to go I got just a little on them and DAMN it stings. They would mostly break while sanding though, even with the 1400 grit, they would eventually fall apart.

I'll try another brand for sanding next time, but for the stipping I now have a pair of very thick gloves, they just wouldn't be practicle for sanding.

Testarossa, again the image with the silver car is amazing. I imagine those wheels would look good on any colored car, not saying that because they're my wheels

aircraft remover in confined spaces leaves your entire body feeling minty and fresh though...
