Well Toto, Kansas sucks (weather, hail damage, body repair)

Came out to Kansas in early April for training prior to deployment. As if I wasn't having enough trouble with the car. Hail storm back in early June got me pretty good. Had full coverage on the car and insurance came through but for a small amount. They have a new body man at the craft shop on post so I figured I would give it a shot. Maybe I'll learn something out of this and save a little money while I'm at it. Plus there are some other issues that I want to address.

went to deep with the DA so I had to do a lot more patching and smoothing. Learn from your mistakes!

Tomorrow it'll get block sanded again with another coat of primer then on to the roof

I only have this car out here so I have to drive it out every day. Here is a before pic

Because of time constraints, I'll probably just repaint the exterior the same color but this time no black on the bumper trim. I am seriously contemplating a dark burgandy but I don't know if I'd have time to do the whole car
