You will learn a ton from the master Jedi. Sit back, listen, and learn.
An additional suggestion is to see if there is a technical school in your area that will let you take a class or two. I did this last year locally and have now got a regular evening program running. I was so much fun, the instructor wanted a whole class like me. All kidding aside, this is a HUGE help. You learn with their materials, you get to learn what equipment, supplies, and product is best.
Perhaps the Jedi master will recognize our presence here. Otherwise, just look through the archives and read some of his teachings.

Great exchanges of information all the time. Another good one is Kevin Tetz at www.paintucation.com. A very good message board and an excellent set of videos showing "how to" techniques for body and paint done "safely"........

There is a guy named Phil V that is also a wealth of knowledge. With MARTINSR, Phil V, and Len Stuart (from autobodystore) you can't go wrong.
I'd recommend you read previous postings at these sites because in all likelihood, it's been discussed already. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 579 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 579 | Most of MartinSr's primers can be found at: AutoBody101.com | | |
