Yea, I don't give up much with my screen name.
I think your name is mr. Bill Dart and your age is 65. It says so in your screen name
If I wasn't able to do my own paint and body work, I would give up the whole hobby. I don't trust anyone's mitts on my cars.
I have no idea how people can buy a "finished" car and pay so much and have no idea what is hiding under the paint.
Humanity in general has made me feel this easy because humans are the laziest, non caring about other people's stuff, klowns on earth, so I don't trust and I am happy to do my own. This way if I am lazy and don't do it right, I will only have myself to blame.
Don't trust nicknames. But my first name is Bill, but that is all that was right.Yea, I don't give up much with my screen name.

And when mine turns out like crap,im going to blame you for pointing this out.
I actually prefer to do the body work more than painting.
The body work phase is slower and you can take your time and get stuff perfect.

Well, I spent the entire day remembering 9/11 by flying on commercial airlines through 3 different airports. I left at 7 am and just got home. It was clear that the police and TSA presence was markedly increased with extra screening and pat-downs...but everyone, including the airlines, was being low-key and careful to avoid drawing attention to it.
They were all being extra nice to the passengers, but even with the extra kindness it kinda hard to not notice that there were 6 TSA agents surrounding every passenger after they came through the body scanner and got a pat-down. About 1/3 of all bags I saw going through security were sent through the X-ray machine twice just to double check. There were also extra fligh attendants on each flight. Planes than normally had 3 attendants had 5 today.
When I flew out on Monday through the same airports and on the same trip legs, it wasn’t anything like it was today.

Well, it is good they do it, but terribly sad they have to. It is like being in a prison, even if you are out and about. :-(

Hey bartender!
I'm lousy at body work too. But I'm also a cheap bastard. I have 3 to paint. First one is IH Scout that will be just fine with an issue or two. Next one is a Dart Sport that will be a driver, should look acceptable. I'll do the Cuda last so it may actually look good. I plan on all single stage paint and copius amounts of wet sand and buff to give some semblance of decency..

Hey bartender!
I have a two car garage where most of the work gets done. But at work I have a good size area where I can paint. Not the best lighting, not the cleanest place in the world, not remotely a paint bay.. But it ought to work.. Time will tell

We would make good team.....I'm starting to not enjoy the body work so much but, I LOVE to paint!!!
Whats another layer of dust in my shop going to matter?
After needle scaling my hoist deck i couldnt make it any worse.
If i have to i will do bodywork in my shop. May build a booth in another building.

Not doing any metallic?
Painting is so expensive. Was quoted $15000 for my wife's car, and that is even without the decals.

Just depends on what it needs...
Better be a damn fine paint job unless that included a bunch of body work.
That was for a full repaint. Clear coat is peeling off on top of the fenders and outer edge of the hood, and some cracking at the front bumper and rear right door and right dog leg. Otherwise fairly fine, just a little.faded
Bill
I went to someone else too, $12-15000 and I asked, how come it is so expensive. Well, if you want a professional job, that is what it cost. All emblems comes off, out with the windows, sunroof, so when they paint it is like painted at the factory. That is what they said,...

Might be what they said but might not be what they do....what is the car?
No body work, unless you call sanding bodywork, and one or two chips down to the primer / bare metal, size about 1/4 - 5/16 of an inch. And that cracking thing on the rear door and dog leg.
