I hate painting. It seems that there is ALWAYS some issues, even with solid colors. Most of my painting frustration tends to be related to dust control, and masking complex paint schemes. to be fair, I posted a thread a while ago asking for help and got it, but i have not yet had time to try those suggestions.
My next greatest hatred is prolonged drilling and tapping. In particular, drilling out centered holes for headlights, and the wrist destroying repetive nature of grab iron installation. Doing a few here or there isn't a big deal, but it can get annoying after you're drilling a somewhere over 50 holes!
If the holes are wrong, its extra work to repair (if it can be repaired!), and then if your hand is not steady, the drill bit snaps. Bonus points if it snaps INSIDE your rare/expensive resin kit.
I'll never stop working on such things, but they are steps that I make sure I do right the first time, so that the "pain" is worth it.
