i enjoy some whiskey from time to time but never before body work. that's actually the scale I use to see how straight panels are. if it looks straight before I drink then it's ready to paint. if it looks straight after one cocktail then I hit it with some primer surfacer and block again. if it looks straight after two drinks then I hit it with skim coat and block again. if it looks straight after three drinks I hit it with a heavy dose of filler and block again. if it takes four drinks for the panel to look straight then I sand to bare metal and get out the hammer, dollies and stud gun.

That's just my scale.... use it at your own risk.
