Cap'n
Well thanks for those kind words of encouragement!
I can understand why 'bare metal resprays' cost so much in a pro shop, and
why many people opt to merely flat down existing paint and paint over the
top.
By stripping back to bare metal, you do get the best result possible, but that
comes at a price - and that is a lot more stages and a lot more investment in
time; and this is just to get the bare metal back to a state that can be
sprayed! There's still the spraying, flatting and filling stages to come.
I confess to being desperate to get the first paint on as I'll feel I'll have turned
a corner, but realise that can't happen till the bodywork is ready, when that
will be, who knows - there's still a lot to be done.
Anyone ever noticed why the word paint contains the word pain?
