Default Ever tried your own paint work?

I have been scared to paint for 20 years, but I finally did some research, bought a few cheap items and tackled it! I made a few mistakes, learned alot, but it turned out pretty good! I cant wait to set up a booth and do more....

Good Video. Real nice start for your first one. I am not a Pro, I was taught in school back in the 80,s and picked it back up in the 90's at the hobby level. Course back in the 80's we where taught a lot of bad techniques. My teacher was big on putty should never be more the 1/8" but what ever it took to get the metal to that 1/8 of and inch was fine. Heck they even taught brazing metal in (a big no no). Every guy in class brazed closed their dent puller holes. That was the first time I heard the term "cave it and pave it." Like you said on your Youtube Kevin Tetz is a good source for information on how to do body work right, his paintucation videos rock and if you want to lean how to work metal its tuff to beat Ron Covell videos. He has everything from simple dolly work to making the whole side of a car out of a single pc of metal.
