David, I told you that I always wanted a Searchlight horn, but never found one for sale. Strangely, just shortly after talking to you, I found one with flowers about 20 miles from here... Your luck must have rubbed off. I really like your paint job. Did you use the translucent metallic paint on it?

Curt,

I’m glad you found one! I didn’t use translucent paint….mostly because I had always wanted a horn with these colors. For the last horn, I think I will try to use some translucent paint though.

Cheers

David
