Default Project "Cover Up"

f*cking crap, like I didnt have enough to do as it is. Last night I managed to chip the paint on my bosses project car. I grabbed a shop lamp that was near his car and as I picked it up and swung around the f*cking cord that was draped over the top swung off and SMACK, chipped the paint, paints only a few months old. So project "cover up" began today along with new rear tires and some fresh paint on those rims and a couple more coats of resin for a third project. If he would get off his ass and get this dam car together it never would have happened, for gods sake this is like year three of the slowest build ever. Then of course like i needed another problem I spent an hour looking for the left over paint that i new he had. Where was it you ask? On the f*cking heavy duty tool shelf, all the stuff we use for car wash installs, the perfect spot for paint, wouldnt want it on the paint shelf with all the other stuff ARRRGH@!

























Still needs a final wet sand then some clear, cant tell in the pic but the paint still needs knocked down.

Here are a few more pics of his car

Lmao! This is one of the coolest threads I've seen on the forums. God knows what I would do if I did that to my bosses Alfa Spyder. Those cars are really classy. I see a lot of them at the junk yard.

Well at least you can repair your own damage. That's good then.
