I sanded the sheen off the hood of my Marquis. Then I reduced the paint, and shot it with color. I told the assistant manager at Sherwin-Williams Automotive that the goal is to learn on this project. I told him this project is so messed up that I think I can at least make it presentable for an old used car. From there we discussed the possibility of him mixing up a pint or a quart of paint down the road (spring 2025?) so I can paint the revels around the windows on my A. The man that painted my A died before I could take it back to him after assembly for that finishing touch.

First time I have ever painted any thing on a car, aside from some suspension parts with a rattle-can. What an experience. We will see what it looks like after it cures a bit, and then gets polished out.

I am sure that applying a wrap the revels on my A is way more cost that what the job is worth.
