I wrapped up the painting this weekend.  CF52678U+O has come back from
having its original paint blasted, having relatively minor body work (a
little welding, panel beating, ...), primering, sanding ....., to now be
wrapped in its original Pimento Red color.  The paint job looks very shiny,
but just a little orange peely.  I flatted, sanded, and wet sanded the
primer, but with the several coats of epoxy sealer and paint, the orange
peal just crept back.  Now I'm going to color sand the '6, prior to
reassembling anything else.  I'm hoping to have this sanded and buffed back
to smooth after this weekend.

As if I thought I was done with sanding.  Ugh.  One more weekend's worth.
