Maybe you should have fixed that dent in the leading edge before painting eh ?

Absolutely... don't know why you skipped that. Bondo is quite easy to do.

he can still fix it and redo the paint stuff and it will still look better than before. He did the sanding, after the dent repair he can resand it and then do final 1200 grit and probably buff it by hand for a shine.

plan is 1500 then 2000 then buff is that nuts? that's what i did on the grill... difference is the grill was new.
wait... there's a dent?
j/k ... the dent actually could serve a purpose...
1) draw attention away from the lousy paint job
2) who wants to steal an obviously non-mint 525i?
3) my car wouldn't be the same without it... i kinda actually like it...
that said... if this paint job actually works, fixing that dent (no rust there btw) in the spring will be easier than peeing in the pool, and by then my mistakes will have come through and i can fix those too, and who knows how many gravel trucks i'll get stuck behind this winter...
i'm trying to learn a technique that i can continue over the years, so the dent's no big deal (there were plenty of dents that i did bondo)... the rust was the main thing i wanted to deal with.
i do appreciate the comments guys, honest, any criticism will give me a better idea of where i'm at. i take it that's 2 thumbs down and one undecided... well that's actually very motivating...
