Agree... amazing work and amazing little chef there! If that is the same kettle as the original blue then you did some seriously good body work to fill in the voids and divots... would love to know the paint also. Most of my repainting efforts (E-610 gasser full box, Performer frames, etc) never did have the same "hardness" as the original paint, so I had to learn to baby them and be careful over time.
