[QUOTE="Gilby, post: 513621, member: 26056"] Another update on progress. Had a pretty nice day yesterday so I decided to finish the paint. Just needed to do the bow and top rail and just below rail on inside for where the carpet will not cover. Did the bow and had just a bit of the red left over so decided to paint the rear corner caps. It's a very pretty color with flakes in it and sort of expensive so didn't want to waste it. Then, in my hurried state while the weather was good, I taped it all off to finish the black. Well, that was a mistake. Painted the black and uncovered the red in hopes to clear coat it. It wasn't quite dry enough apparently. Felt dry enough but i'm thinking the plastic i covered it with may have trapped some moisture inside and it left lines in the paint. So, with pretty crappy weather the next few days I will have to wait to do a light wet sanding to remove the lines before clear coat. Here's a few pics. The last pic doesn't show it well but you can sort of make out the lines in the paint. The paint looks really red in the pics but it is the same as the more maroon looking from first post. [/QUOTE]
