[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16629454, member: 70025"] Okay, all that work and it was only Saturday LOL. Sunday I decided to take on the front valance. Again, this one was in bad shape. After taking a closer look at the front valance and combining it with the paint work I found on the stone guard I came to the conclusion that the original body shop took short cuts. I can't complain too much as they did not charge me a huge amount for the paint job. Guess this goes back to the old saying "you get what you pay for." That's okay. I'm doing it right this time. As mentioned it was in bad shape. This one was not painted all the way to the bottom, there were a bunch of dirt nibs in the paint, orange peel, runs and dry spots (i.e. not enough clear coat). Time to get it right. Here you can see the orange peel in the paint. And I have not even touched this yet LOL. [ATTACH=full]1706715[/ATTACH] It's hard to see, but in my finger reflection there is a run in the clear coat. [ATTACH=full]1706716[/ATTACH] You can see the bottom does not have full coverage. [ATTACH=full]1706717[/ATTACH] Another shot of the bottom. And no that is not a scrape mark. My car is not that low. [ATTACH=full]1706718[/ATTACH] Here I started sanding and the dirt nibs are showing. [ATTACH=full]1706719[/ATTACH] This air vent area was the area that looked dry. Like they did not get enough clear in here. Yet they managed to get a run on the outside of this area LOL. [ATTACH=full]1706720[/ATTACH] Here it is sanded and ready for primer. [ATTACH=full]1706721[/ATTACH] Passenger side. [ATTACH=full]1706722[/ATTACH] Driver's side. [ATTACH=full]1706723[/ATTACH] I was able to get it in primer and wet sanded with 600 grit. However, it started to get very windy. I have to have my garage door slightly opened to allow for air flow and to vent/exhaust the overspray. With the amount of wind it was blowing too much dirt and dust into my garage. All that would end up in my paint/clear coat. So, I had to call it a day and close up shop. Damn you mother nature LMAO!!!! [ATTACH=full]1706724[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
