• After a few years of not painting any bodies. I finally work up the nerve to paint a body and hood
  • Ive done that! I have a Camaro that I botched the front fenders on. Sanded it out then masked and repainted just the front clip. The hood? Messed it up 4 times. Strp and repaint. The 3rd time came out beautiful. Except I grabbed the wrong can of blue. Keep trying! *NM*
  • Been there - done that many times. Just strip the hood or sand it and repaint. :-)
  • Mike, we all hear ya. I've got projects sitting on the shelves for that very reason--REAL frustrating after you've spent lots of time prepping, huh!? *NM*
    • That’s why most of my recent stuff is in prep stage. Once the painting begins, that’s when I start sweating bullets. *NM*
  • Hang in there, we’ve all been down this road. Personally I find painting to be the most stressful and frustrating part of the hobby, but also the most rewarding when it works out well. Strip, prep, paint, repeat as necessary. ;-) *NM*
  • One of them racin' deals. Let it dry thoroughly, then scuff it and strip *NM*
  • That's why I keep a tub of Super Clean nearby--it's like having a mulligan at the ready and takes the edge off the frustration *NM*
