hi

well the 57 chevy was shut down cause my silver paint is starting to wrinkel up when left out to long and i had to leave it open when doing the details and it screwed up

so i thought i would start this ( not like this is any better you will see in the picture)

it's a 2004 pontiac gto by amt

got it in a four pack at wal*mart here when they sold plastic model kits

i started it a year ago but then put it away cause i liked the older cars better but thought i would try something new for a change

i screwed up BAD!!!!! I MEAN BAD!!!!!!!!!! on the paint job

i primerd, wetsanded and all that and i was painting the door handels and my hand sliped :o

it got on the door so this never happend to me before so i painted over top of it and it starts to wrinkel up :(:(

so i primer it and it made it worse so i sanded from 8 pm till 9 a hour of sanding and now it;s ready for a shot of new primer and paint and clear coat

all because i wanted to do a good job on this project and not leave a littel silver mark that was barely notcibal on the door

haha already had my bad paint days

heres some pictures i finaly got the camara to work

well i primmed it and stuff and got the paint perfect i mean it was the same as before but a bee was on my arm and i could feel it starting to sting and i dropped the paint can with the car on it and ran to the house to put that bee sting stuff and not only when i dropped the paint can with the gto did it ruin my new paint job it got on the side walk leading into our house

so till now i was cleaning it up and sanding it again and im gonna get some i mean i need some castrol superclean and redo this whole thing

usaly i would just give up and put it away but this one is differnt i gusse

well just hang in there perserverence is important and it looks like it was turning out very nice . and definitely get the purple stuff so you don't have to sand so much especially when the paint is so fresh.keep up the good work.
