Don't sweat it.......it has happened to much more experienced painters. I'm glad I warned you of the possibility and you had the presence of mind to remember and keep an eye on the sanding residue color. It's harder to do on a white paint job though

It's cool. I was pretty pissed about it yesterday. I have decided to take a couple of days off that project, and cool down a little. As it happens, I may just lump that together with painting the Suzuki parts.

I wondered what happened to you. Anyway, I was hoping to have a nice, shiny, finished bike by now, but I screwed the pooch on my clear coat. I'll recover.
