[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16710766, member: 70025"] Okay everyone, Since today is the official recognized Christmas federal holiday I was off today. So, I got to work fixing the passenger side. Tomorrow I will spend the day with family and on Sunday I'll fix the driver's side. This was not hard at all. Just very tedious. I took my time and did not rush. I sanded the bad spot with 800 grit wet and I also sanded my side stripes with 800 grit wet. The idea is to tape off the stripes and then spray red. I'll unmask the stripes and then clear coat from the bottom edge of the door down. But the saga continues. I found another burn through spot on the top edge of the passenger door (In the words of Homer Simpson DOH LOL). It was very small and I might have been able to just touch it up, but I decided it needed to be fixed since I was at it. What's one more section to fix LOL???? I put tape around my work area to protect areas I did not want to sand. I can use tape here since I'm not spraying and no hard line will be established. Remember I'm using 800 grit wet. Not to aggressive, but enough of a scratch to create a bite for the color and clear. [ATTACH type="full"]1732161[/ATTACH] Here is the area I found on the top edge of the passenger door. It looks worse here because I already went over it with 800 grit wet to prepare it for painting. So, I removed more material. [ATTACH type="full"]1732162[/ATTACH] Here you can see the sanding process. After I removed my tape I went over the area the tape was covering with 2000 grit wet to prepare it for the blending process. This area will be masked off during the painting process.
