Dan,

I have indeed enlisted a friend for some help. He owns a body shop here in town and although I don't want to take advantage of his generosity or his friendship, (he knows my funds are currently very limited) he's mentoring me a little as a fan of Cobras. He gave me the same advice about possibly working with the paint I have, what would be fixed and what would still show. He also reminded me that if I'm not happy with it I should think about re-doing it. I worked too hard on the rest of the car to settle for a sub par paint job. I'm the one who has to live with it. My funds are short but I'm long on time, location and materials for body prepping, so that is why I decided to re-do the paint. I really like the idea of doing it myself even if it takes a little more time to get it the way I want it. I'll take it down to the primer just to be safe, and maybe by the time I get there I'll figure out a way to have a pro shoot it for me, or help me do it.

With that being said: Thank you for the advice, I used it and it worked better than what I was doing.
