DOH!! I hate when that happens.

So i just got my car painted, 2 coats of base, 2 of clear, and baked for 30 minutes.

We go and untape it, all fine, looks great. I then open the door, get in a pull it outside to take a quick look at it in hte light. Then i shut my door, damn, the inside of the fender hit the edge of the door exposing the primer!! ouch, that sucks. Just a bad damn day. Well, now i guess its time to tune, just make sure no one else does something stupid like that.

The body panels were adjusted, the gaps were perfect, but it was a aftermarket fender, and you dont see them things when you just have primer on the door.
