Thanks to the 3hrs of intense sanding, I now have Popeye arms

While sanding, I came to the conclusion that there are 3 factors that contributed to the peeling of my first coat.

- Didn't sand the original paint.(chargeryeehaa) all the years of the elements probably acted as another layer on top of the clear coat .
-Not washing the car. bit embarrassed to say, i just acted like the mineral spirits was going to eliminate all contaminants.
-painting to early in the morning. condensation builds in the morning. although I did dry surface. it was still somewhat moist.


I was REALLY REALLY close to giving up the whole project to tell you the truth. but I made it too far to just quit. besides this keeps me busy and away from the xbox,wife and kid

enough jibba jabba, here are some pics.
