Stop in for a cup of coffee

Being out of bodywork for over 20 years now I find it harder to get things as straight and fast as I use to. I've forgotten little tips and tricks in my methods then it comes to me midway in the process.
I spent a month on my fenders, felt like glass in primer... neighbors probably thought i was a weirdo as i slowly caressed the tops of the fenders in that way you do to feel for waves... Soon as i shot color the bodywork gods showed up and laughed at me...

I ended up rubbing them out with a blue jean pad and cutting compound and i'm OK with how they are.. i need to rub the rest of the car now though..
