It may take longer but you'll get the satisfaction of knowing what's under the paint, and learning some skills in the process. Plus the additional respect you'll get from car guys when you can say "I did the body and paint".
You are so right.. I have regained alot of knowledge I had forgotten I had. I have learned quite a bit of new techniques and alot about the new products and prices, they have changed drastically since my last involvement. What the heck, I am having fun in the process I just don't really know how much longer it will take. I chose to keep the car black and my buddy said if you want my help then it has to be perfect to be beautiful when we are done.
