an uptdate now
i was shaking some water based paint
lid came off one and it got on my chevy
i cleaned off what i could see
but yes i missed some that ran down the boot/trunk
and it had dried so had to sand it
and repaint the bottom of the boot/trunk
looks like it had not been done
some pics with a bit off paint on it before i sanded more off

Quite some time for a WIP, 8+ years. But in the end it's the finished product that counts and I bet this one will be a good one.
Keep it up and safe paintshaking ;).

Certainly off to a slow but good start... I would suggest taking the polishing pads to that paint though, there's quite a bit of orange peel you could get rid of...

yeah been a bit slow
but been on and off for a while
not too worried about the paint
it is good enough for me

Yeh, agreed, the finish could be smoother, but man it looks good with the chrome against the green. Keep it going.
