If they tell you 4 weeks, it will be 4 weeks. The old saying about an ounce of prevention, means even more when it comes to marine stuff.

My brother-in-law has been a marine mechanic for 20 years now, luckily he checked it all before he called me. I know what you mean, that would be my luck. Thanks!

My friend is supposed to spray it with a gun instead of a can at the body shop.

That is the plan! I found someone local that is trustworthy to fix the rear. I have some really good friends.

Thanks for the advice and concern guys. I am a sponge, I want to keep my family safe.
