"Yyyyar Mateys! Ahoy ye' land lubber! Yyyarr!!!!" Oh, sorry. Just so many waves around I thought I was on the Adriatic Sea. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img] Biggest culprits? Passenger fender, driver's side rear upper quarter panel, and the hood scoop. How the heck does a dent happen in the middle of the freakin' hood??? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] Because based on how hard it is to reach that part of the hood to sand it, I'm sure it took some effort to get a dent there! Another round of guide coat (I use 3M powder with the sponge applicator) and some 320.
So why are the pics a little blury? Well, they're taken from my phone that's inside a plastic bag. And why's that? Because it's brand new and I need it to last 2yrs and if I come home with a primed up phone...well....let's just say that won't go over so well. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img] So what's on deck now? The 'Boid is sitting in the final round of primer. I'll pull it out into the sun today and go over the entire car with a pencil and circle any divots, pinholes, craters, canyons, and anything else I missed. I'll unwrap it, dedustify (dedustify? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]) the entire car, and wetsand with 400, and wash it with Dawn soap, Spot prime if necessary, and then block out those touched up areas. A final wash, and a wipe down with wax/degreaser. After that, mask off the car again and it's ready for paint! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
I'll be using DCU base/clear on it. Why? Because I've noticed an improvement in my posture and back pain since I've bought the materials for this and the Bee. My wallet in my back pocket is INCREDIBLY lighter [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]
