I should be starring in a movie

S

Senile Old Fart

An appropriate title would be a river runs on it.

I am doing a panel repair on the wife's Tahoe. Had a bit of a dent behind the right rear wheel where something contacted it during hurricane Katrina.

My wife finally brow beat me into submission and I agreed to fix it this summer.
The other day she reminded me summer only a few more weeks o summer remains.

So I get somewhat motivated, knock the dent out, get it in epoxy .

Today I shoot the base coat, then go after it with the clear.

Somewhere between laying on the floor shooting the bottom and lower portion of the panel AND getting back into a standing position some gremlin snuck up behind me. Dam thing turned the fan control in a good 3/4 turn.
Well everything was going good, on cruise control you might say. Made the next pass on the panel and came back across with another pass. About half way across I notice dam I don't have much of a fan.
After looking for anything but the obvious for a couple minutes I check my fan adjustment , 1 3/4 out. had it at 2 1/2out..
Readjust and complete the panel.
Needless to say there is a "flow indicator" that looks like the Hoover Dam burst.
Going to be a bit of cut and buff now.(that is an understatment,lol)
That sucks because the rest of the panel is sweet, peel closely matches the rest of the vehicles oem finish.
 
I learned the hard way, too, and now there is NOTHING that will stop me from completing a pass once I start. Well, maybe death.
 
Dont feel bad.. Runs... Well you just gotta have em.. Its part of the game.. After you have had a couple hundred, it doesnt bother you anymore lol
 
I dont feel bad about getting a run, its HOW I got it. Dam stupid old cooter not paying attention, LOL
