Well, after a very very tiring day its ready for the booth (just in time, considering its booked for tomorrow). Only day in the last month its rained, and it rained today, got quite wet finishing off preparation work. Anyway, pics of the new paint job to come tomorrow afternoon.

Well, today was just freakin disastrous. The paint went on well, and so did all the poo poo out of the piece of crap booth we hired. $450 worth of booth fees, $150 worth of towing fees, $350 worth of paint, $200 worth of materials and hours and hours and hours of my labour later and the car looks no freakin better (infact more then likely worse) then where I started.

I've about had enough. All the guy who owned the booth had to say about the piece of crap was basically "poo poo happens". For comparison sake, we did the underside of the bonnet and the frunk under my house, and got LESS poo poo in the paint. FAR less.

To make matters worse, 1km from home it started to rain, so the paint job will probably end up with some light water marking. And one of the side mirrors is going to have to be redone as it rolled over in the boot of my car and got covered in blanket fluff.

I'm about ready to burn the whole freakin car. I don't even know what im going to do with the paint yet. Most of the poo poo might rub out. Or we may need to rub the clear back a decent amount, and lay another coat over. I don't know, and right now, I don't want to think about it. Last two days I've been flat stick.

Anyway, pictures don't make it look too bad. In decent natural light, its quite nightmarish, at least by my standards. A decent amount of the stuff in the last picture is just poo poo off the chamois on the surface, there is however a decent amount of poo poo actually in the paint.
