Steve, I guess I'll have to sand down the whole car and keep shooting it and sanding it and shooting it and sanding it until I have a finish I'm pleased with. Every other panel or area of my car could use a respray anyway. The car is a 1997 with 110k on it and it was treated poorly its whole life.

I've seen guys with zero experience, a little money, and a lot of desire figure out how to do amazing automotive paint work in their garages. I'm a guy. Therefore, I too can get a good paint job if I'm willing to do the homework and then the work at home.

When you get it done, I'd love to see photos. I prefer to drop it off at the shop and pick it up complete and perfect when I need work done. I don't have the time, or patience, to try to do a top-drawer paint job. That's why God created body shops and professional painters. I prefer to give them the work. My shop, like many, provide a lifetime guarantee on the paint and work. That's worth a LOT to me.
