Some plastic sheeting down the middle and we're ready to go.

Man I haven’t checked in on your thread in a while, you weren’t kidding about being busy. I’m even more appreciative of that spring. Thanks.

We have touchdown! Long weekend, I'm drained. Thankful my buddy gave me a hand. No way I could've done all of this, this quickly, by myself. Start wet sanding tomorrow 🤪

My buddy came over this afternoon while I was at work and started block sanding the clear coat.

I had to go out of town for work for two days and came back to this.

My friend finished sanding, and is almost done buffing the paint out. Made me realize I really have no clue when it comes to buffing paint LOL. To say this looks better than the paint and finish on the original doors is an understatement. He asked that I wash it to get the buffing compound off and see where else he needs to touch up.
