Going backwards to go forwards. Was ready to glaze some small imperfections tonight and couldnt live with a couple low spots on the rear 1/4s. Nothing major, the light blue paint prob wouldnt even show them much. Then I thought back to my first car, the one I learned to do bodywork on under my Mentor Dan Spain, 20 years ago. I had a little spot on one fender that bugged me after the car was painted. That one spot STILL eats at me 20 years later. So I did it, little skim of filler, waited, knocked it down..................wow! These modern materials rock if only for the fact that you can work them in minutes. I had about 45 minutes in the small area and it will give me piece of mind for 20 YEARS! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I am getting closer, just bitch work now. The wetsanding will be a joy........now if I could make my doors work. DOH!

Silly Kenny, you know I am using Top-o-the-line $60 PPG Industrial Singlestage! And the only Patina I want is 15 years of my arm rubbing the paint off the door.
