 Almost finished; had to repair several bad places beneath the bad
repaint 
 coat.  Kept finding 'em at different times as project progressed
making me 
 have to do stuff over and waiting for another can of paint each time 
I'm sure it will look terrific, I'll be asking for pointers when I repaint my 
sunroof.

I should've stripped, at least, ALL of that repaint coat immediately; maybe, 
even the original coat, too, down to metal, 'cause the original had some 
damages, too.  All of that is in hindsight, though.  It'll be OK, though; 
'think I 'bout have it licked now; 'waiting for 'nother can of paint.

coat.  Kept finding 'em at different times as project progressed making me 
have to do stuff over and waiting for another can of paint each time 
(takes a week to get a can of paint).  Thought I had it done several days 
ago, but I accidentally touched the wet paint in the middle of the lid 
with bottom of the can - had to do it over again.  Maybe I've had enough 
practice now. Should be able to get it in place next week.  Fingers 
crossed.

Congrats!  Looking forward to seeing the new trunk lid during one of my 
next trips, let us know how that's progressing.
