I know you did, I'm trying to find a way to easy your frustration. I wish I lived closer so I could help you out with whatever you needed to make the process less frustrating.
I feel for you, I really do.

the only good thing is it is coming off easy . no damage to the surface to speak of. will guide coat and block with 180 to pick up any chips and such. then 2 coats of epoxy and respray with Wanda . i was going to use ppg but i trust JimC's recommendation. something was just not right with the prospray . at the time i did it they were fairly new .
worst part is it was a complete car ready to deliver. now it is back to an empty hull . till have to pull the glass.

We tried portacools at out shop in the upstate area of SC. They cool the air some but add a ton of humidity so it's like walking into a swamp. They help if you're working a few feet in front of them but it's miserable everywhere else in the shop. They work well in areas with really low humidity but make things worse if you have normal humidity. For what portacools cost now you can buy a minisplit instead.
We sold our portacools for $1600 and spent around $2200 on a minisplit and installing it ourselves. The added productivity of working in 70 degree dry air more than pays for the added electric bill, bare metal panels stay rust free, the lathe and milling machine stay rust free. Our shop is concrete block with 8' ceilings that are insulated so it's not as expensive to cool as a typical shop.

that really sux shine. its totally not funny but i watched that video and it made me chuckle for a minute just because the lack of adhesion there is just so over the top. thats pretty ridiculous. i may have said this awhile ago when you originally posted this but the only time i have ever seen something like that happen was years ago when i was using diamont. it was the same thing where the paint just didnt seem right and it covered too well. it was like i was shooting way too much pigment and it didnt have enough binder in it.
i think wanda will be a good choice for you. better than diamont any day and even when the diamont it good, wanda sticks better. never had an adhesion issue with it.

When I was a kid growing up in Dickinson Texas, I never noticed the heat. Didn't know anything else. When I came back there as an adult it darn near killed me.

a friend of mine was talking to somebody about that car at a rod run. didn't know him at the time but he wanted to buy it. anyway the guy made some remark about it being pink, lloyd asked him if he saw who got out of it. he told him that guy can drive any color car he wants. i was 6'6 260 at the time. but that was an awesome car. rode and drove great.
