I'm new to this... I'm a Cpl of Marines who just got back from Iraq... I've got a 93 Mark 8 that I can't wait to start working on... I know i overpaid for the car considering the condition that it was in, but needed the car before I got deployed... I've got a camera and will update everyone here on the progress...

Welcom Home... We're greatful for your service... THANK YOU!
I've actually got a body/paint question for you... I had a fender job done and the body shop that did it didn't have many layers of paper on the hood when they sprayed the car... The finish on the hood feels rough... I guess its from the wet paint that was absorbed through the paper...
Can that be buffed out? Or do I need the hood resprayed???
Actually could use a re-spray, if so how much should that run me??

it might be one of two things... either somehow overspray got to the hood... or the paper that they used wasn't the kind of paper that is supposed to be used in a spraybooth... if it is overspray then it can be buffed out... however if they didn't use that paper then the chemicals in the paint mixture soaked through the paper to the paint... you might get away with buffing it out but that would depend on how deep the chemicals went...

My best friend is a Marine, he was in Iraq over the summer. Right now he's going into embassy duty - just took him to Quantico last weekend for training! When he transfered to Quantico I had to sell his '01 Mercury Grand Marquis for him - I was sad, nice car - I would have bought it in a second if I had the money!
