I finished with the buffer yesterday afternoon and pulled the car out this morning. Considering the conditions I spray under and everything else that can go wrong with a paint job from start to finish, this is the best I could possibly expect. I'm very happy with the end result and now can start final assembly. In fact, I treated the girl to new MagnaFlow mufflers and sill plates which will arrive this week. Oh, I guess I put enough clear on cause there were no burn throughs. Stay












FWIW

LOL, it happened yesterday after the last spin of the buffer with Glossworkz. Each spin previous to that was getting a bit shorter not to screw up.
Many thanks for your help in this and my other projects
