Default Re: Learning to paint a car

I just dont even know where to start

i was taught the basics of bodywork and paint by a friend of mine, the rest i learned by doing it, if you want to learn. read some info. focus on prep. and gather extra spare junked bodyparts, fix them and practice painting them, you dont want your car to be the first thing you paint. trust me.
