When to stop trying to fix all body imperfections?

Jrgunn has it right. Look around in person at things… you will feel better about a few imperfections.

One caution: don’t compare your work to online pictures. The internet makes paint jobs look way better than they actually are. Most of those rebuild shows do really shoddy work that the camera hides.

My 85 c10 is the first car I painted top to bottom and, though I know every flaw and would do a lot differently now, it gets constant positive comments when it’s clean. I block sanded it down to 400 grit and then sprayed it in an inflatable paint booth. Here’s before and after.

I repair rust damage, that's it.
My K5 is painted with a roller and 1 stage paint. Didn't even fix the dents as I make new ones anyways ;D.
I wash my rides every second year or so.
Looks good enough for me from 10 - 20 feet distance.

It's called Hofer in Austria and Slovenia only. Aldi bought a super market chain in the 60ies named Hofer and the name Aldi was used from different company, so they kept the known name Hofer. Hofer has gas stations with cheap gas in Austria.
