Good to see you plugging away on this one! Sometimes it's hard to maintain momentum after a set back... I know I have that problem!

Yeah it really is. It needs to be reprimed in those areas and then paint but I'm afraid of building up to much paint. Any suggestions?

Thin primer and paints more than usually and build them up in thin layers. So they blend in with the paint beneath and you can avoid it looking like corrosion control. Also spray with low pressure and from a short distance.

I'll echo what John said about it's good seeing you back on this one. :shoutout: Sometimes that happens on long drawn out builds. Hang in there with it Mike.
