Might want to re-phrase that John. I might do a few things
that are beyond the norm when I can't find a good reproduction,
but...I'm miles and miles away from the perfection that goes
into a show car. And believe me, up close it's clear that
"good enough" is part of my process.
Now Deve on the other hand......well.....we've all seen his
pristine shop, pristine chassis and flawlessly constructed
web page. Guy's like him don't know the words, "good enough."
And John, you hit the nail square on the head. 99% of a good
looking body and paint perfection is in the body work and prep.
Of course it never hurts to have the right equipment, correct
understanding of the materials and a certain amount of skill
to lay the paint on properly every time.
But, that phase is only the last hour of what could have been
many months of work for an amateur and weeks of work for a
professional body man. And most of that last hour is consumed
by stirring paint and cleaning up after yourself.
And then in many cases now a days, there's the color sanding
and buffing, again mostly bull work that the average guy can
do at home after the paint is cured.
