Don't feel too bad. It is probably not as bad as you think. All the prep work before you paint is what takes a long time. You may be able to fix it easier than it looks right now.

I have been thinking that maybe I need to put her back in the sun to" Bake " her again and identify the bad areas, then trim out the bubble with a razor knife to release the trapped solvent and remove the loose paint.I think this would allow me to feather edge the damaged areas without disturbing the good paint to much. It will take about three days to get the new paint from aircraft spruce,and for my next weekend off to paint it. God I hate waisting money and time.
