Wow, Marshall. I am impressed and a bit jealous. I have always wanted to try a "professional" level paint job like the one you describe, but have always been afraid of the work involved. It must be an incredibly satisfying feeling! It is satisfying, yes. I'll feel better when I get the window back in, I sure hope those guys don't scratch the paint. I think the main thing to do is to try and figure out how to speed up the sanding - surely there are buffers one could use. I imagine the tough thing will be learning to controlling it well - but I guess one can practice on junked fenders or something like that. Now you'll be getting extra exercise every time you park somewhere, because you'll be parking at the FAAAAARRRRR end of the lot in those distant end spots. Just another added benefit of pristine paint. :-) Yup, truer words were never spoken! It's gonna be tough next winter when it's -40 C. Can't wait to see pictures. Great! I'll take some more tomorrow, too. Marshall
