Saturday Scraps
In between family stuff and showers, I had less than an hour to work on the car today.
At least that was enough time to at least make a start on flatting back the areas where I had touched up the BRG.
So lots of areas went from shiny…
Back to dull...
Leaving the car looking like this overall.

Diminishing Returns
It will be the 1st of October tomorrow and I first starting prepping the car for paint on the 7th May.
Although it wasn't unit the wheels were removed on the 12th June that I could no longer drive the car (on my driveway).
But whichever way you count it, I have still spent months getting the car painted and this ties back to what I wrote a few days ago:

After that, if I have any more problems with the paint, I will just have to wait until the Spring to fix them.
As I really need to get this car back on the road now before I start running out of daylight as well as dry weather.

So even though I spotted a few small, OK, tiny, blemishes in the paint earlier today, they are staying are they are now.
Instead I will continue to flat back using higher grade paper before the final cut and polish and that will be it.
Even if the car isn't 100% perfect, it will still look miles better in green and yellow compared to the grey primer.
So my mind is made up and I now just need the weather to cut me some slack so I can get on with it.
Cheers, Paul.
