Not too shabby. For all the little things that aren’t perfect, I’m still pretty happy with how this is shaping up.

Is this your first time painting a car? I am considering doing something similar in a similar environment. Just wondered if you had any tips current you could go back in time and tell past you before you started. Car looks great! Love the colour!

Thank you. Yes, this is the first car I’ve painted or done bodywork on.

Biggest lesson learned is to be patient. If you aren’t 100% sure you are ready to go to the next step in the process, don’t. It’s much less time to correct something in the moment than fix it down the line.

And for Pete’s sake, resist the urge to touch things until they are fully cured,dried etc. Sometimes I can’t help myself and have gotten myself into trouble. 😭

I'm glad you mentioned the touching part, I happen to have the same affliction! Looking forward to seeing the next step!!
