Anyone interested in seeing what I do painting this one? I have it in the booth, masked, wax and greased removed and am getting ready to paint it.
If nothing else, here it is shiny red now. Fresh red is about as pretty as any color can be.
I’m still hoping one day you set up a GoPro (or that fancy iPhone X) and do a painting video 
As always Dave-your work looks great

That doesn’t happen in a reputable shop man. A lot of the shops, mine included, are direct repair shop for insurance companies and have to warranty their repairs and repair them by the manufacturers guidelines, Especially when your replacing structural parts. There’s only one way to do it, the right way.

You didn’t have to blend that door Dave? On a red?If nothing else, here it is shiny red now. Fresh red is about as pretty as any color can be.
I’m doing that this morning when I get to work.
It takes too long to mask up to do at the same time if I want to spray the jambs of the quarter at the same time as the outer quarter.
If it were a pearl or metallic, I would have done the jambs separately and shot the just the outsides of the two panels at the same time to be sure the flake was evenly oriented between the two panels.
Besides that, the color tinted easily to literally a butt match.
The door is a repair panel though regardless of that. Tiny damage along the edge.
