Yesterday was not a very good day for me... My primer was spliting and flaking on parts that we used this new type of primer for the doors.. So I had to resand a few parts which at that time was just a mood kill. I spent the rest of the night trying to fix the two doors back so we can put a new primer on. My buddy said he would go ahead and start painting the car today when I'm at work so we can have the car ready for Sat.

And for anyone asking yes the doors were sanded down to the fiberglass so nothing was on the doors to make this **** start peelings.

I sanded down everything to it's bare state.

Hell... I will try a motor to motor run with my Nitrous tune. You know I'm game for it.
