Paint/Body work How to Thread thoughts

Well i mean regardless, it looks pretty good from here. Some kids are good with a 10/10 car or 50/50 car.


I have never painted a car myself. I did help my friend and cousin block sand my car when my friend primered it. I did paint the jambs and gutters as well as the engine bay but it was with a prevail sprayer and there was so many runs lol.


I figured if some you fella chippped in on how to do it properly and how to do it on a budget it would cover the people like myself to those who want to do it the right way but do it themselves

My car is a daily driver that sits outside (no garage)and is regularly in public parking lots, so I’m ok with some imperfections.

The problem I see with a thread about DYI paint and body is the people that will tell us all how we F’d up this or that, and how they would have done better.
Then we end up with a bunch of opinions cluttering up the thread just like oil or spark plug threads.
There are a ton of armchair pros on this site.

This is why I almost never post anything about what I am doing.
I built my Dart license plate light to the front grill and literally everything in between, and it’s been on multiple out of state trips without a single failure or breakdown except for an electric fan controller dying.
I really don’t think I need “opinions” on how it should have been done differently.

That’s what would happen in a DIY paint and body thread.

No thanks.
