the funny thing is I can buff it down with machine glaze, and some old school nufinish with my buffer and it looks great. This is the same process I do on my boat yearly where the gelcoat fades down from all the beers and low ph water from the local lakes, I see lots of 2000-04 dodges around with this same sort of failure in similar areas, mostly metallic models....

Spoke to a few wrap graffic shops, they don't wanna sell me any partial pieces to do the roof & trunk lid... grrrrr Gave me this bs about special heat guns & wrap fluid they have to use. LMAO I should'a recorded it with my phone

So now it's a few posts on craigslist to see who will sell me some metallic dark blue wrap on the side.......

I couldn't find a job, so I offered my snow removal service on Craigslist.
Surprised, no one called me, but a local company called me this afternoon. They called me about my job application. It was a short phone interview. I didn't do well on that. I don't know if they will call me back or not. If they do call me back, and offer me a job then it's the best thing that happen to me this Christmas. The best Christmas gift I might say. I can't wait to work.
Mary Christmas everyone.

Good luck with the job hunt. I just started a new job this week after being unemployed for almost nine months, so I know the feeling. I was making some decent money flipping Neon's while I was unemployed, so I think I'll keep doing that in my spare time.

Me, too. I have always wanted to flip Neon's. I prefer 2nd shift so, I can do things like that at day.

Got to work on Christmas Eve huh? I wish that was me. I want to spend times with my family, but not with my cousins, uncles, and aunts.
We gather every year. This year, too.
Those people are okay, but I don't want to sit around talk to them, play cards, and play poker.
Christmas gifts are silly because we buy gifts for the person that we got on folded paper.
I'm more of a quiet person yo know.
