Man, I hear ya. Maybe oak will come back in style again. Plus . . . they smell. You know the smell a common-area microwave gets after about a year? That's what one of them smells like. Sort of a rancid butter/vomit smell. I thought for sure all the paint chemicals would drown it out, but they're all gone and it's still there. I have a feeling it will be there long after all mankind is gone, and only Keith Richards remains.

Good on you for giving it a go.

Thank you, Norm. Frankly I was nervous, given how OCD/anal I am about my car, the new technique, and all the expense--a pint of PPG DCC 2-stage urethane was a whopping $188!
It came out pretty good--no runs or the like. But a good painter would have not had to spend two days wet sanding and polishing out orange peel caused by poor technique. My painter friend did the rear bumper and mirrors on the car, and they were absolutely flawless right out of the gun.
I paint the way I weld. You don't have to be a good welder, you just have to be a good grinder with a lot of time.
