Work is right. Just doing some wet sanding about wore my arm off today. lol Long day at work.

Do you use filler for small dents and dings or do you try to fix it with another method?

soldier..... paint it all at one time or you may end up with a color difference due to humidity, also, as you know, make sure the painter hangs the parts correctly (i prefer this even when metallics aren't used)

yes same color. like i had put up before the had been in a bad crash and the hole driver side is not the same color as the rest of the car. you cant tell in pics, but if you could see it in person you could tell. the stock pai nt color looks so good in the sunlight. but were they fixed the car there a dry spots in the clear, and there was also a cuple of runs in some spots.

thanks for the coments guys keep them coming.

Man, looks like you are knocking it out! So what are you using for filler on the bumper covers? I am curious. It has been a long time since I have painted anything, or done body work for that matter. Last time I sprayed was my engine compartment on my vert project. I found out someone walked off with my gravity feed HVLP Sharpe gun. Nice. That just kind of soured me as to doing any more paint work. That gun was the shit and I am funny that way. Just don't feel I should have to buy another gun, so I just have other's do it now. A different gun might not spray the way I had gotten used to with the old one. Just don't feel like learning all over again, sorry for the rant! Great project cool car, can't wait to see it! What a way to end a deployment!
don't worry, if you want to come back over, I'll leave the lights on for ya! lol.
