Thanx guys!!
Yea the relicing is difficult seeing photos then seing the actual body things are lot smaller than I thought. All the templates I got don't really match my body that well. I'm on the taping for red now which I think is difficult! Lol I wish I could see someone elses body for reference but that would be like seeing eds for reference  |

| Alright so as I state previouslyl STRIPPING. I am not happy with some of the stripe placement and i'm definitely not happy with the relicing. So i'm taking paint stripper to it, so i don't feel as much grain. And were restarting this almost as if it's a #1.5 now body wise |

| hey nix make sure you get all that paint stripper completely off the body !! maybe wipe body with acetone or rubbing alcohol before applying paint again if there is any left on ther the paint will eventually flake right off!!!! and you dont want that you dont want any of the stripper chemicals left on the body ,goodluck brother , tops |

Thanx for the great info tops!! I cleaned it with paint thinner and now i'm gonna let it sit a day, and then rub some naptha on it I think that's what it is called.. It removes like oils and dust. Not sure if that's the name although I am just as sure as I am not post pics here in a few hours  |

Ok guys here she is all stripped and ready for paint just gonna let it dry more till tomorrow. I bought a different black its acrylic laquer from autozone by rust oleum due to 1 12 oz can get the whole thing done, instead of buying to 6 oz for 6 each. Although ill be re buying the same duplicolor performance white again. Here's where i'm at.
