Ok Billy Bada$$

good luck with doing all of this outside. its going to be very hard to control overspray and keeping the car clean between each stage of paint. your going to have a lot of dirt/dust particles trapped in and under your paint.

While I agree that rattle can wasn't the best, it's what he had and it's done. The sanding and blocking will make more of a difference now anyway. Good to see you're being a bit more supportive. At least he's asking for some help and suggestions.

Oh, and Is300, I'm not a "G." I'm just a dood with a car like everyone else.

Now, get your *** back in the booth and start sanding!!

OK time for a update.
I started painting yesterday and I was blunted so I f*d up. I didnt clean properly before I started painting. Now i have fish eyes. I only painted half cus I saw the bubbles. SO I read that I have to re-sand and re-paint. Anyone have a better suggestion? It also may be air in my line but idk. Im gonna check it tomorrow.
