    My local B&M is starting to carry Nightcap, and the owner asked me if he should set aside a tin for me. From what you guys have experienced is Nightcap a good blend or a serious lat bomb. ~Ron

    I was doing cleaning on my Dr. Grabow seen here [/url][/img] and when cleaning it I removed some of the paint on the top of the bowl. So my question would be is there anyway I can get the green back on it or should I just count it as a screw up and move on. ~Ron
