There are days that don’t go as planned
Some feel like a train wreck rolling in
Today was one of those days
I’d worked for weeks to get this project car ready for paint
Up at 4:30 for final prep
Things were going well until
I messed up the sprayer and splattered the car
Fixed it, started again
Metallic paint took some getting used to
Finally got a decent base coat
Back on track
Then a breaker tripped
The booth deflated onto the wet paint
I did my best to recover
Spilled the mixing cup
Tripped the air hose
Knocked the trunk lid off the stand
Yep, it kept going downhill
Like a funny children’s book
I started to get a decent finish
Then the wind came out of nowhere
And pushed the booth over
Not sure how my face got so distorted
But my daughter’s picture from inside the house
Summed up how I felt
I called it quits
What I got done looks terrible
Time to sand it and start all over
It’s OK. You can laugh
I was ready to throw the spray gun through the windshield
But I’ve moved on
Still so frustrating
**Chorus**
It was a train wreck day
Booth came down on wet paint
Sand it down
Start all over now
