neighbors decided to burn trash and the ash got all over my wet paint - thats nearly as bad as bird poo.

Acid rain and pollen will stain too. Once you get a coat of wax on its fine.

It also matters if you use hardener or not. If your paint isn't 100% dry, it shouldn't be anywhere near birds, or drunk neighbours with beer cans

Running good too. Found all my old chips I burnt and have a pretty decent one in there now. The fuel map is a little rich but most of the BLM's are real close. It may not be real fast, but boy does it have great throttle response!

Wow still looks great . Did you have to do any touchups since it was painted?

i blew a chunk of paint off with a pressure washer on the drivers side right under the trim around the rear window. It was 1x2 cm so not real huge. Just for fun I used my airbrush to touch it up and is still looking good. The bottom is semi gloss for a reason - if it ever grows new rust, its easy to touch up. There are some spots I need to fix that look like dots where the paint didnt stick on the roof and an the side - pinhead size. I really wasn't looking for a good finish.. it was going to be a winter beater for my other car so I didnt really take my time.
