It's been a long time since my last post. I reread it and laughed at what I wrote back then: "I'm excited that this is the last time I have to wait for something to dry or cure."

I had to start over. There were some weak spots where a layer of paint under the surface never cured. Too much paint and too much humidity. I waited a month and a half to see if it might get better over time, but no luck.

While I was sanding off the paint, I decided I liked the look of the bare wood with random patterns of primer, so I left the upper and lower sections of the front as you can see in the picture. This is the new paint job, with the first layer of clear applied yesterday.

I intentionally over-sanded some edges and a few other spots to go with the relic-ed theme. No, I'm not just saying that to cover up my mistakes!
