Gotta respectfully disagree with you here. A hard line on clear is almost always from bad prep or wrong spray technique, not from skipping the fade out. If you feather your base properly and lay the clear with the right overlap and reducer, you won't get that tide mark even if you don't blend it way out. I've been spraying for 15 years and I barely ever do a full fade on clear unless its a weird metallic or tri-coat. The real issue is guys spraying heavy coats without matching their air pressure to the panel shape. Silver cars show everything, sure, but if your clear laydown is smooth and you wet sand the edge, that line disappears.

Huh, I gotta disagree with that take. Even with common phrases, the vendor might have a state-level registration or common law rights from using it first in a specific market, and that can still cause real headaches. Saving two weeks isn't worth the risk of a rebrand or a legal bill later, especially when a quick search is so cheap.

Dude the fake dialogue trick is actually genius. I hit the same wall with a side character who was supposed to deliver a letter but I had no idea why. Ended up writing a stupid argument between him and his horse just to kill time and somehow the horse became the comic relief for the whole second half. Sometimes you gotta let the dumb stuff happen to break the logjam.

Hold up, FOUR YEARS and you never pre-dimpled? Man, that is WILD. Dave really did you a solid on that one, that's a game changer for sure.

90 bucks isn't the worst I've seen but it's still shady how they marketed "live" classes that were just recordings. It's the same pattern with those cheap online courses and even some gym memberships where they promise personal training but you just get a generic workout plan. Everyone's trying to sell you the easy version of something that actually takes real work.
