the air hose had to burst in the only area of the shop,  that I didn't dust before laying down a gloss finish. I guess I can re finish it, or even color sand and buff. no wonder why I hate paint and body work, and most of my builds have stayed in primer.

That's bad news...I've always hated painting too. It's the one thing that you seem to have no control over. I've had pretty good luck sanding out stuff that got into the paint as long as it was the last coat. I remember the time when a moth decided that he was a kamikaze pilot and dove into the last coat of clear going on my 57 Chevy. I almost attempted to try to get it out but I was able to control myself and let the paint dry and was able to sand  it and the trail it made swimming through the paint out the next day... Did I mention that I hate painting?

Something like that happens to me every time I try to paint in my garage. You're not alone.

Back in the early 80's I was painting(at the body shop)  a '67 Chevelle. On the final coat the factory hose crimp, (@the gun end) popped off. The hose looked like a wild striking Cobra, slapped the front fender three times before i got it unpluged. Thankfully it was a lacquer job, sanded it out the next morning and reshot it.

gotta love nitro lacquer or acrylic, paint outside or inside, problems easy to repair.

Solution is paint outside at day break in the spring with a heavy dew on dust is low bugs can't fly and there's plenty of light.

Ain't that the truth Mike. Back in '78 when I started painting at the shop we used acrylic laqcuer on all the nice cars. Alot of work, but always nice when done. Everything else got sprayed with acrylic enamel, less work but unforgiving. If you had a screw up it was three months cure time with out risk of lifting on  respray. I learned to love Dupont's Centari, especially when I tried the 793S gloss hardner. That amazed me that it could be striped over the next day without leaving tape lines. It was the mid 80's before I found out you could cut and buff it within a day or two.

............ and I love paint and bodywork! (Or use too)  I hate mechanic work, I bang my knuckels and get covered in grease.

Ditto to Sammons and Mike. Growing up everything was lacquer if you had the cash, or enamel if you were me. I will say, though, I had my Mustang painted at MAACO about 35 years ago with acrylic enamel. It looked good then and it still looks good. About 3 years ago I wet sanded it with 2000 and buffed it out. I should have done that 30 years ago.
