Last night I painted the front hood, the tonnaeu cover and both one-piece sides.

Results: from best to worst...

Tonnaeu cover: Paint is thin but no orange peel, I'll keep it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
Front hood: Orange peel, but only a few thin spots. I'll keep it as is.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Left side: a few sags and orange peel, but no thin spots. Repaint it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)
Right side: OMG! Did I do this with my eyes shut? Sigs all over, thin spots where you can see the primer and orange peel llike 30 grit samd paper. Complete sand and repaint required.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

I reshot the left side this morning. Much better job. But I'll have to spend a few nights working on the right side before being able to reshoot it. Here is the left side in the booth, I mean my garage this morning.
