Arghhhhh! Today is one of those days! (RANT)

Everything I touch today goes to Krap! Okay, as many of you know. I was originally going to paint the stepside hot Rodz flat black with red steelies and Wide whites and spidercaps. Plans changed, so I sold the wheels and wide whites. I decided I was going to paint the truck Crystal Red Metallic (2008 corvette, the darker red)So I bought rallys with tires from a board member (until much later when fancy wheels are in the budget) and I'm bagging the rear and all is going well. I pull one trailing arm off yesterday, no problem. I pulled the other off today. Every bolt I tried to take off was stuck on that side and I had to grind all of them off. On top of that the driverside trailing arm is bent to H3LL. I can't bend it straight, so I need a new one. So I decide I need to take a break before I truly do some kind of damage. I decide to call the paint store to find out about getting a little paint to paint the inside of the cab, so I can at least put that together. I ask about possibly getting it in single stage so the inside will be easier to paint. She says no go! The Particular paint I like is actually a 3 stage paint and will cost roughly 800-1000 for the three things I need! What!!!! I figured a couple hundred bucks! So we are bak to square one! Now I'm going to paint the truck hot rodz Flat black... again and do the interior red. Now I will have to do it w/out the cool steelies, wide whites and spidercaps though. I think I just made my way from trend (Flat Black primer look) to the necessity that helped derive that look originally (flat black primer because folks couldn't afford quality paint jobs). So, when Y'all see my flat black truck, know and understand I am not trying to be trendy... I'm just flat out broke! I guess I'm lucky I didn't sell the paint yet.
