Yeah that sucks, you'd think that in HI you guys wouldn't have those issues, not like it's Russia, lol... I feel for you, can't get paint, terrible scenery and cold weather, lol.
It's the fact that you can't drive it all the way on a truck. I live on an island in AK and same thing...they get jittery about putting anything like that on a plane to ship out.
As for the limbs, is there a reason you're not coating those? Will the Duracoat flex enough for limbs or no?
