finishing up the fender.
ill only work in some polish by hand, no compound,
the paint under the tape was very thin. i found burns & also areas where i can see the grey primer is just about to break through. someone really hacked up this one!

playing with touch up paint.
i made the customer go to the dealer & pick up a new bottle & bring it to me before i let the car leave.
i didnt want him leaving here with burns because i didnt put them there!
i touched up every burn the best that i could. i needed 2 coats to cover the dark grey primer that was showing through. they are not as noticeable now. the customer was really happy with how the car came out. he was so happy, he left me & Humberto a $60 tip to split!

from a few feet away its hard to notice unless you already know its there.

+++ FINAL PICS +++
sux that it was cloudy on the day it was finished.
these are the best pics i could get.
i wish the sun was out so i could get better pics to show how bright the blue looked after it was done.

Very nice work! Looks like the car was in really rough shape when you got it. Nice work, and nice dog

Great work! What did you use to make it so that you couldn't see the lines from the pinstriping? Hennys looking nice and warm also.
