"Brice let me use his paint booth many times. Once, I sas painting base coat for the first time. I sprayed so much paint on ghat it ate through the primer. I asked him why it was doing that. He told me the paint is half paint and half reducer. The reducer was eating the primer because I put it on too thick. I miss his smile."
