Well my painter/body man was supposed to be here two weeks ago to help my final adjust the frotn sheet metal and color sand/buff the car. He never showed up. Can't say I'm surprised sine he has all the money. I'm more pissed about the loss of time since I can't put the trim on until the color sanding and polishing is done. I hadn't noticed what a crummy job he had done on the color sanding until I got the car home. It looked okay in pictures but in person it had orange peel, cloudy spots and sand marks in the clear coat.
I asked around town about someone who I might be able to pay to do the finish work. I even thought about doing it myself (although I would rather "learn" on something less than this car). Anyway, I got a referral and a guy came and said he could fix the problems easily. He showed up yesterday morning early (which in itself was a big plus to me). He spent all day color sanding, buffing and polishing. The paint looks awesome, and it's smooth as a baby's butt. I'll have to final adjust stuff myself but that's no big deal, then I can put the trim stuff on.
These pictures do not do the paint justice. It has much more red in it in person. I'm glad I stuck with the original color.
