Thanks, Wayne!

I took a few days off this week to try and get some painting done on the interior and chassis of my car before I head to China for work on Friday. I'm not sure which of the gods I've angered this time, but it feels like it's been one setback after another.

I did get the doors painted finally (this was the second attempt as I had setbacks with them last weekend). Then today the KBS Rust Seal I sprayed reacted with my car. It beaded up in numerous places. Whether I sprayed it wrong, or prepped the car wrong I'll never know. So I spent some time sanding paint back off. I'll try again tomorrow. What paint didn't bead up ran. So I spent some time sanding paint back off. I'll try again tomorrow. Then I went to open my brand new can of KBS Chassis paint- and discovered that the paint inside had congealed. Half the can was a solid rubber-like goo that won't mix or thin down with the rest of the liquid paint inside. I spent ten minutes trying to mix it an all I've done is break up some of the rubber chunks and made a mess while doing that. I've come to the conclusion that it's no good and I have my doubts that I'll acquire another can of this before Wednesday (my last day off) Grrr.

At least the low gloss paint I purchased at my local paint supply worked well. It laid down properly and is providing a nice low gloss sheen on the loose parts I painted today. I'll ultimately use this on the rest of the interior and engine bay area. My goal is to get these parts all painted up and let them thoroughly dry & cure while I'm out of town, then scuff up the exterior and clear coat that when I get back. And clean up the mess I've made...
