well you guys can forget that trunk lid looking that smooth. it had some runs in it yesterday...so i sprayed another light coat on it and it helped smooth it out. it was tacky to the touch so i figured another coat wouldn't hurt.

well i woke up this morning to what looked like a firework or runs all down the top of the trunk lid. it looks like total shit.

this BLO is flipping pita to spray over any painted surface on this car.

it doesn't soak in for shit and just runs all over the place.

i have my spray gun set to the very lowest setting, so it just must be me or the gun that just super sucks.

if i put it on with a rag it just leaves streak marks, which is unacceptable too.

Stephen, decent idea...but i gotta figure something else out.

and now i gotta figure out how to get all this shitty looking runs off of a product that only comes off with mineral spirits without damaging the painted surface underneath.

i seriously doubt that wet sanding will do it....it'll just clump up like some petroleum rubber product when i rub it.
i may have to wait weeks on end to do it and see what happens.


so i'm moving in a different direction, i'm going to spray only the inner surfaces and let the body man spray all the outside in just clear. fuck it.

for preserving the patina....just get a rag and rub it in super light, i mean so freaking light that you don't even think its even going on. then just spray the inner parts cause nobody will see those. screw spraying it.

i'm about ready to win the lottery and just send this mfer off to someone to finish the whole damn thing.

yup i'm pissy...get over it guys...its a good place to vent besides outward infront of my family.
