Is that a paint run in the first picture of the driver's door, right above where the door handle goes, right where the light refelection is shinning on?
Dang.

roger0080,
there are about three runs that need to be fixed. You pointed out one of them. There are also some other areas that will need more attention. This is not a forgiving color for imperfections. I don't know much about paint and body, I don't know why it's easier to fix acrylic enamel. Maybe it's easier for my friend to fix Acrylic enamel. He has done most of the work at a very reasonable price so I don't give him a hard time about it. It can all be fixed. The truck looks 1000 times better than it did when I got it. It was my grandfather's so I have the rest of my life to fine tune it.

As an amateur painter myself, I know all to well about those little sags one can get in an otherwise, very satisfactory finish. "Just a little bit more ..."
I use enamel with harder (no oven or lights to cure it, have to air dry). It's easy to fix because you can sand and retouch/repaint one's boo-boo's shortly aferwards. I didn't mean to tromp on your picture. I know first hand how much work goes into these projects and you should be proud as your are about your truck to get it this far. -Roger

Thanks everyone for the compliments.
I have a lot of respect for all of you paint and body guys out there. It takes a lot of effort and a good eye to get it just right.
