my solution to the goo problem is to tape sheets over the big openings. Ill do the quarter windows as well. Should dramatically reduce the amount of clean up needed.

You are of course correct, cause clear. Somehow the floor always looks messier if I color sand. 

So, did you reach the level of paint quality you wanted? Sure look great from the cheap seats.

The spot we tested last night is almost there. I think with new pads, and a bit more effort,  we will be there. At show car quality. Which is better than i wanted at the start, but what i decided i wanted at the end.

Good point. Granted,  she always asks if something is munchkin appropriate before looking. And i HOPE most of the slightly off color comments go over her head.

Starting to see why good paintjobs cost a bit more than Maico?

At least the roof is a defined panel and doesn't have to blend into the pillars.  I'd plan on scuffing and respraying the roof.  Looks like a spot got missed and then cleared or something
