I'd love to be able to do things like that myself but cant, well done to you. Who cares if a painter pics faults, you did it yourself, saved a heap of cash and got some real satisfaction!

did you paint your bay your self or take it to a panel shop. its not the easiest thing to paint. life would of been millions times easier with a hoist
