So nice of you to surprise the woman that had the sword and guns with the extra money.

[@FishKisser875]

I didnt know you played bango! (if that was you) Loved it😄 Painting the building blue, It’s also a popular color whenever you want to make people think of security and serenity. So big-ticket items that have a lot riding on them often use blue. Adding a design on the side helps too.

[@zazz69ed]

Pete thank you for being a breathe of fresh air... is rare to have an honest person in business dealings and even rarer for it to be a business owner that deals in buying and selling of items. This has shown everyone that you are not ever trying to rip anyone off. On a side note.. how much is that orange guitar on the wall in the video. i have a grand daughter who would love that... she is always playing on mine. she is 6 going on rockstar LOL

[@fayecormier2229]

Building colors suggestion - Sage green with black trim. This color combo looks great from the road, certainly is eye catching and something you will enjoy for a long time. The British green is way too dark and will fade over the years,. Get the paint store to help you with locating samples in the sage green and black then paint large area in back of the store. Actually, get the British green as well and give it a try. Something else that you need to know, you are a really nice guy who enjoys your business. It shows so keep up the good work Pete.

More background on the Naval Cutlass: My friend was in the USCG in ships stores. They received a shipment of those cutlasses from the Navel Arms Depot while they were doing the landings in the Pacific in WW2. He was told that "They heard there was hand to hand fighting there and wanted to be sure the ships crew could defend themselves in close combat". He is dead now, but the one he had was bequeathed to a museum, along with his gun collection. Quite possibly the Coast Guard Museum. IT was in absolute mint condition. I did try to buy it from him, but the arrangements had already been made.

That vintage green paint would give your store more of a military/army surplus look. Keep a way from light colors especially white you want your store to stand out when it snows : ) Best wishes.

[@horstdouglas1]

I used to own a 67 Austin Healy Sprite, and it was painted British racing green with a black convertible top. You could still paint the columns black and the rest of the building the dark green. It will probably look good especially for your kind of store. Also, you are always kind and polite to everyone, even when you know they are trying to scam you. Great example of what customer service is all about, even if it is hard to do.

I'd go with a lighter shade of paint since the darker the exterior color, the hotter it will be inside and your AC will have to work harder. Your building probably doesn't have much wall insulation due to it's age.

Ive been tuning in for close to two years now. I am very impressed with your honesty and integrity. Usually, a deal is a deal and once agreed upon, its done. However, it is acts like this that will indeed keep them coming back. At a time when people are truly hurting financially, the word of mouth regarding respectful business dealings will carry a lot of weight with folks. And trust me, since this is on your video content, it will go further than anyone could ever expect. So. salute to you good Sir. Keep up the Great job and hold tight to that integrity. I have no doubt she will be a cheerleader for you for years to come. God Bless. That said, regarding the paint. The vintage British Green would look fantastic, however, I would recommend a Calico pattern similar to the Honey Cat!
