The paint starts to slide and puddle everywhere and there you are crying like a fool! Wait two days, bust out the soap, water and 220 grit, block the puddles thinking you can save it and then you burn through and go back to the paint shop cussing because you only have half a pint of paint left to do touch ups to the whole truck and you need a good pint of color to do the whole hood. Its a big panel with a lot of acreage on it. But Im glad you didnt have to deal with that agony. Your truck looks great and you are really enjoying her. I want to do an extended road trip in mine someday.

so right, it is a huge wild shape to paint, glad i found a good shade tree guy, who was skilled and charged a fair price. very happy about the hood, and i got enough color, and clear for future touch ups.
