More finesse worked on this fender. He’s determined to get the crown of the fender top dead even with the contour of the door.
Many adjustments going on between adding metal and filler and working the door gaps.

@Cairo94507 Thank you Michael. Had a little going back and forth on colour but in the end decided to stick with the original.

Changed paint brands. My painter likes R&M single stage, but he wasn’t impressed with how their metallic was laying down.
So we went with Glasurit. He had positive experience with this brand and their metallics.
Everything has been block sanded. I was tasked with doing all the door and frunk ,trunk edges. Saved me a few dollars. I’m helping where I can. Not sure there is a budget per se, but
I want to stay “happily” married :-)
