My old mentor at the shop in Reno swore by guide coat on every single panel, thought it was a waste of time for 3 years

I used to skip it too, figured I could eyeball everything just fine. Then a black door got me and I ate a whole Sunday redoing it, so now the can comes out even when I swear the panel is straight.
