looks good, just make sure when you feather edge you dont have any hard lines too often people will think they have it feathered enough and come to realize its not and it bleeds the line throught

I know you're doing the body work, but are you laying the paint yourself as well?

I'm starting to do some minor spots on my car. Have to ride around with some primer spots until I can get a full paint job (can't find a touch up paint for my car). Can't wait to see yours done.

I'm mostly new to body work and painting, but I'm doing alot of research/trial & error. I used to be into air brushing and drawing alot when I was in high school, but now I don't have all that free time..... Damn real world bs.....
