This Tige is cursed. There is a line where I sanded the edge of that first batch of flake that somehow didn't get filled in after flake, 3 coats of gel clear, and 4 coats of automotive clear. So now I get to spray it a fourth time. I want to punch something.
I had a similar experience painting a 74 Buick Lesabre convertible years ago for my aunts then significant other. I was young and doing side hustle summers while in school.… man I had to paint that thing 3-4 times due to lifting issues not using a sealer , whole bunch of chit I learned the heard way. Even tripped over the air hose while cleaning my gun and splashed lacquer thinner across the hood that I had just sprayed. Was just cursed the whole way took forever and I just ate chit burgers and made no money on the job.

guy was a lawyer threatened to sue me bc it was taking so long. I was 18 or 19 doing a dirt cheap paint job on a rusty POS.… Karma caught up as his trans blew on the way home when he picked it up...

Some jobs are just like that. The ones before and after will go fine, but this one just seems to hate you for some reason.

Anyway, we got the wrong flake again.
