This guy dropped a weed wacker on his car over the winter and took out a nice chip.

Lots of filling.

Getting it closer with a little glazing compound

Sanded and now masked off.

Get to use the new spray gun.

Spraying the area.

Removed the masking.

Lots of wet sanding, some rubbing compound, and polish. then a little wax.

Still needs a bit more work. Has a little over spray but ran out of time. The color was not a perfect match.

Not bad for your first time with the new gun. After some more practice I'm sure your technique will improve and we will see great things coming out of your shop.

I told him to lay some cardboard over the cover next time, that will help protect it.
