Exit ... did your rustoleum ever harden properly? Did you ever find out what the problem was?

I followed your progress for about the first 40 pages or so, but by then it was about 4:00 AM, and I was getting pretty stupid.

But I've been thinking ... all of this effort you are putting in, this isn't just to get the car painted, this is making you an experienced painter. I'm sure this Dodge Dart won't be the only car you fix up, and now you can be increasingly confident of your ability to give it a great skin.

Thanks for posting all of your results and please let us know how the brightside works out. It's a big help to all of us.
