60, 254, 968, 330, 1717, 365, 148, 217, 233, 118, 1538, 1902, 234, 100... I'm not done yet, and these teams are pretty good, to say the least. 1114 has a different method of looking pretty, namely, stock aluminum that works like a dream.

If the exceptions outnumber the rule, it's time for a new rule. Oh, and the logical corollary is: If it doesn't look pretty, it does well. This is not the case. I would say that your team is an exception, not a rule.


One note on 330--it has happened that the color scheme is reversed. Sometimes when that happened, a coat of clear anodize was applied before the yellow paint. We also liked to keep the painting area away from the work area by about 50 feet or more.
