Thanks Bruce, I bet between bringing it to bare metal, doing body work some small dents no rust, epoxy primimng, high build primer, block sanding, painting and buffing. I probably have 15 hours in that fender and its not perfect.

True, but you're also not a pro who "could" get that job out in quicker fashion. AND it's black. Why not start and learn on the HARDEST color first?? LOL Not a bad thing as you'll see the issues more easily and therefore you will "learn" more as well.

Like I said, I'm a dual-ticketed tradesman, Millwright and Mold-Maker (like tool and die). BUT I went into my family business of Kitchen cabinetry as it was my dad's and my brother did it till his passing in 2012. Now the reason I bring this up as SURE I can measure and cut and install these kitchen/bath cabinetry myself, but I'm NO WHERE near as proficient as my installers who do it daily for years on end.
