Re: correction under flourescent lighting

I am currently working on a green, 03 Miata. I washed it, and inspected it in the sun. I could see a ton of swirls. I then pulled it into the garage, and looked it over with the Brinkman, and a halogen. I saw more swirls. I then, flipped on my flourescents, and saw stuff on the hood I couldn't see under the other lights. I saw spots where it looks like someone scrubbed bird droppings off, and a few other defects.

What's my point? I find that you should use as many different types of lighting during the inspection and correction phases. Depending on the type of paint (metallic, candy, pearl, etc...), you may miss a lot of stuff by not doing so.
