All I can say is the guys that do quality bodywork and paint for a living earn every dollar they charge!

You can drive yourself crazy chasing imperfections, but that is the time to make it right, not after you get color on it. I have not priced paint since 2008 when I finished my car, but the petroleum based basecoat had doubled in cost over a 2 year period of time. People get sticker shock when they are told $10k + for a paint job, time is money and materials are not cheap!

Keep up the progress!
