this 58 is a hard one to paint in that it doesn't have a flat panel on it. in truth it's not weather you have a problem it's weather it leaves the shop with one. when we painted it we had the back side agents the bank wall. in hindsight we should've flipped it around. but we ended up with a metallic flop on the on the right fin and in the rear of the car. the fin was a case of treating it as a flat panel . as the panel faded away the gun was at a greater distance to in the rear then the front. apparently my motion was the same each pass. as I came around to the left I squared up at the molding and didn't have the problem. the back door and surrounding panels was a case of trying not to get a run. so I did not load up all the nooks and crannies. so that's my story and I'm sticking to it
here are the pictures while I was putting on the moldings. you could really see it as the sun moved around the windows. the flash picture catches the lack of reflection back to you and you can see the gray sealer in the back. we have enough trim back on to break it up and the paint is starting to cure. it's a warm day and the time was right all we needed to do was blend in where we messed up. the panel is sanded with 600 and you keep your blend in your sand scratches. then in a day or two you sand it all with 1500 and buff. been a lot easier if I had payed attention the first time but who is going to know. I'll never tell.
