I stripped it primed and some filler work. The paint is protection. It's Kirker and holding up pretty well.

Here it is ready to prime a 2nd time. In Restoration shops doing old car Restorations when the car may be skim coated end to end top to bottom with body filler to get straight you'll routinely need to prime a 2nd time. nothing out of the ordinarily. BUT, when you work in any other body shop where everything is mass production crank them out new cars insurance work, or used car lot garbage Earl Scheiber's you never prime anything twice & the idea or thought of it is ridiculous to them & unheard of. Huge difference between the 2. I once worked at a Maaco Collision (similar to Earl Scheib but one step above) way back in late 1980's. There I had to Paint 8 cars a day, 1 per hour. To people like this the idea that someone might take 2 days to do 1 car, 1 day to sand & 1 day to paint they can't comprehend. If you were to spend 2 weeks, 2 months or 1 year on a car they would really be stunned, with out words.  

Given my experience on my car, I'm amazed that anyone can do any kind of paint job in 2 days. Even experienced hands like HH might take a week or more depending on the car.   Now I can appreciate why they cost so much. You get what you pay for..

Yes, alot of people say why so much for a paint job or Restoration. Then say I'll just try it, do it myself. Then after trying it themselves they then realize it's much more work & harder then they thought, that is if your trying to do a quality or good job. if you just want to do a Earl Scheib/Maaco job then much easier.
