Not only can I see uneven lines and poorky painted details, I am fully qualified to make them and have several references that I have to look at daily.I can see straight lines really well. I just can't cut or paint straight lines lol.
One time I was putting two Kurt 6" vises in a Haas CNC Mill. Plopped the first one down, smacked it straight by eye, then did the second one while trying to line it up with the first vise. When I swept the first one in with my test indicator, it was straight within .0002". My co-worker was like holy chit lol. I ran the indicator to the other vise, and not only did it return to "0", but that vise was within .0002" as well. So I had somehow got two vises nearly perfectly inline by eye. I could always get them within .015" or so but damn, that was crazy. But give me a pen and ask me to draw a straight line and it'll look like a snake
I honestly haven't painted a body in years.
My latest body is a 50's chevy pick up proline body that I'm thinking about doing a spraypaint hydrodip thing on.
I might wuss and just do a snazzy simple paint job but I'm lightyears behind you guys here!
I LOVE all the pointers and tricks and tips here though and it gives me something to shoot for in the future.
