Hi all. Thanks for the feedback.
I took the car in last Friday to get the paint done Sat and my painter showed me some problems that I had with the prep. Some areas not sanded enough, 5-6 little dings I missed, etc. My wife was with me, so I asked her if she wanted me to take it back home and fix that stuff, or pay the painter to do it. Without hesitation she said let him do it!
I guess she's misses me...
Anyway he going to block it again skim fill some minor dings, primer it and wet sand it. he does excellent work so now I know it'll look great. He just does custom cars and hot rods.
I've been on it for 2 years. New trunk, tail panel, front and rear window gutters, rear lower quarter patches, misc. other small patches, all the rust is gone.
Looking forward to seeing it done now.
Thanks again.
