I was very tired today, had a lot of trouble sleeping as of late. Maybe its my fear of going back to work /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif Anyways I got the car all sanded down again and up on jackstands and taped up again and managed to spray some etch primer on the spots where I sanded through to the bare metal. Here are a few pics. I hope to get myself together and spray the sealer and the basecoat very soon. One thing I tried today was the etch being sprayed with a cheap airbrush that I bought at harbor freight. What a piece of absolute junk. Anyways the pics

I hate it too and sincerely hope that I am done with it. Still too tired and testy today, I must wait until I am in the right frame of mind to paint.

You've got much more patience and skill than I do. The job looks great. Take a rest and get into back to the right frame of mind.

That's what beer is for!

Ah, but beer and spray guns make things that do ont look so beautiful in the light of day /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif I am getting ready to go back to work on limited duty and I am worried about all that. My shoulder has healed a great deal and I am sure I can get by with that, but my worry is my knee. It still hurts quite a bit and I hope I can last a 12 hour shift on it. If I can just do that I will be so releaved.

Ahh, sit as much as you can, rest it as much as you can, and try not to walk long distances. Take your cane with you, it helps. Folks will also give you a bit of slack and laud you for being so dedicated. LOL
