i finished my integra yesterday and admired the shine under the sun (natural light) for no more than 3min before i had to run an errand. here's a tip... don't leave your model in the sun!!! came back 30min later and the paint bubbled up in areas where bodywork was done! apparantly, air may get trapped in the seams where the parts meet. when the sun raises the temp of the gas and you have a fully cured lacquer paint job over any gas exit, you'll get some nasty bubbles! trust me, i've learned my lesson... and that makes a current total of 3 times painting the body.... so don't feel too bad... i just can't belive that i happened to me... the windshield was on, the headlights and tailights were on... the joys of painting car bodies...
