I knew if I started I could of gone around the van like a mad twat , leaving patches of muppetry in my wake and taken on too much to make good as its been a real learning curve. In the past I've taken paintwork irrelevant of size to an expert, paid good money and we've fallen out but when you start becoming a PITA customer - one who writes down the agreed job etc. - they don't want your business or to do a job you pay and often agreed with them to do. So muppetry it is from now on. I helped the last lad quite a bit on the blue van but profess to have actually learned very little. I think I was just tasked to "keep out of the way". I'll do some more this year but I left the Electrox to see how it faired tbh and may continue to do so as I pick up the skills to make good. Its a real challenge to get it right.

Its been taking ages to clean up the body cuts I got. My process is, knot wheel to get the loose rough rust off, 60 grit sanding wheel to get most of the pitted stuff out then the finger sander to get the wee pitted stuff. It's this bit that takes the time. Like you said, looks super shiny then you get wee puffs of rust dust. Even at that theres still some wee pinhead size pitted bits. Should I give these a wee skim of something before painting?? I have been priming areas as I go before I start the next bit kinda thing.
