Had to weld a 3/16 strap up under the visor to keep it straight and redid bodywork and primer on the back.
THEN
started to wet sand the orange peel on the already painted fenders,first time painting urethane, have always used acrylic enamel, anyway ,I did put (what I thought) 3 good coats on the fenders,waited 72 hours and started with 1000 and then 2000, sanded right through in a couple of spots.
turned off the lights and closed the door,sat down and had a beer.
plan to finish sanding and recoat with a wet coat.
ever had "one of those days?"
thanks for letting me vent
Greg
Sorry to hear about that. Yes we have all had at LEAST one of those days
