That may well be your religion, but it is not a universal Truth. All welded joints are not equally beautiful: I've seen plenty of perfectly satisfactory weld joints that looked as though they were caulked with dog feces smeared on with a popsicle stick. What's more, paint has but one functional purpose, to protect the underlying surface from the elements. Unattractive colors, blobs, orange peel, all serve the function equally well, but it is absurd to claim they are all equally beautiful because of that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
