Austin, you take this one, create a car meet thread...make it somewhere nice and early enough so that we can shoot a bit before full on sun. I'll even drive halfway to Palm Beach!
Quiet Waters Park maybe?

Whatever works for you, man. I did go home last night, only to be greeted by horrible weather. 
I hope it stays nice tonight. 
Put camera battery on charger and then paint!!

PM Convo? GTFO!
So hard part of cutting open, done last Sunday. Check.
The easy part of spray painting a couple of days and giving them a weak to dry so you don't scratch the paint off while reinstalling...delay, excuse, delay excuse.
I swear, I'm going to sound like an old man here, but my patience with the lazy laxidasical attitude of the younger generation is really wearing thin. You guys would have just melted into a pile of hibiscus pollen if you went back in time to when you used to have to drive to a upick junkyard looking for used parts, hope you had enough money to buy it, were at the mercy of local tight lipped mechanics to share any info on how you might troubleshoot an issue you were having. Or being broke and having to rip open and read a Chilton's manual at the local discount auto parts store.
Seriously...oh, it was raining, oh, wasn't home, oh the string on my tampON broke off and I can't get it out.
Man up and get it done!

I'll beat you with my walker.
And PS...those dry times on the can...they're there for a reason. You likely won't see a problem since it'll be behind a lens but it's 15 minutes, light tack coat, 15 minutes next light coat, then last heavy coat after another 15...this allows the coats to dry between, but still remain tacky enough to hold the next layer to them.
Humidity is a mother though...last time I sprayed I had to bring them in the house to dry.
