Painting Car

unless you have perfect sheetmetal, ( highly unlikely), you will find it is pretty darn hard to work the metal, ( rust repair, grinding, sanding, blocking, working filler etc), with the doors and fenders on the car, e
ven if you can jack it up pretty well/
then again, the problem of putting it all back together with out scratching something! LOL but, where there is a will there is a way!
yes silver metallic requires good equipment and most of all experience.
like everything in life, there is a learning curve. but learning is fun for me and lots of people. the painting tutorial in the paint threads is great read. good luck..
