I tried using 1/4 inch tape but didn't make the turn. I am thinking of commissioning Battmann to make me a stencil that I can spray the outline on my existing opening.

Pulled the plug on painting today, I was dripping sweat all over the place, and knew it would not work to paint.

A huge thunderstorm formed to the north and moved south over me. Temperature dropped from 104 to 81 in the carport, very friendly to painting!

Came out really good, still plan to scuff with 1500 grit, wet sand with 2000, then 3M Trizact 3000, 5000, then buff hopefully to a perfect shine.

This is by far exceeding my expectations. I am completely blending out orange peel in the clear-coat with 1000 grit, no burn troughs today! Then 1500, 2000, 3000, and 5000 grit before buff.

Then buffing with this and a wool pad with 7 inch buffer, not sure the rpm but I think it is around 4000. So clean, shiny and deep, kinda like a black hole, you could dive in and no one would ever see you again! Love it!
