You know what happens when you forget to put 2 little drops of oil in those each of those 2 little holes in the power sprayer after cleaning?
Nothing, until you try painting again. Then this happens:
Instead of coming out in a nice smooth spray, you get some big obnoxious globules of paint in with the even spray. Ok, maybe they’re not that big, about ¼ inch or so (the size of the gap between the hood and the fender), but splatted on an otherwise smooth painting of the hood of a car, they look like the Grand Tetons.
The back was done before I ran out of paint and had to go out and get more, cleaning the painter before I left. Now I have to sand down the hood and paint it all over again.
But that’s ok, I was going to put 2 coats on anyway, now it’s just going to end up being 3. And since I rearranged it so the car has the whole garage to itself, the painting goes pretty smoothly (as long as I remember to properly prepare the sprayer.)

Hey, the part without the globs is looking nice, though. Is it just the photo, or does the new paint have a touch of metallic sparkle in it? I can't wait to see the finished product!
(PS. I can relate to how you feel when you thought you were done but you found mistakes. Yeah. I'm really tired of editing the same book over and over, but I keep finding little "globs" that I didn't notice earlier.)
Thanks, hopefully it will all look that good when I'm done. The paint does have a touch of metallic sparkle to it, although the picture does bring it out a lot more than you see normally.
I've never thought of literary globules, funny stuff.
It's looking amazing! Hopefully you got out to smell the fresh clean air this weekend too! :)
Factoid of the day: Did you know that your birthday not only coincides with independence day in Thailand, but that it is also Butch Cassidy's birthday?
Just thought you'd like to know.
I knew about the Thai New Year connection, and heard somewhere that they celebrate by having big water fights. My kind of New Year.
But I wasn't aware of Butch Cassidy having the same birthday. Cool!
