I think it's fair to say that each of us draws the line in a different place when it comes to our tolerance for "right" vs "done". Many things factor-in to wherever that line is. I'm just saying I will do my level best to never be the guy judging where someone else's line is. Unless ..... starts throwing stones at people again; in which case I'ma judge him all. day. long.

LOL I didn't see this post earlier. That's the exact philosophy I take when it comes to body work. I keep at it till I'm just DONE fairing; then it gets base and clear. that's my "line"

I can relate to the house reference. As a licensed builder that has flipped 20 something houses it never ceases to amaze me the handy work some home owners come up with especially when they are short on funds. On the car side I'm probably guilty as I have reused a crush washer or 2 myself
