Painting

[rdub]

Alright, thanks for the advice guys. I really like the community college idea.. I think I'm going to look into that.. basically I wanted to learn how to paint and possibly turn it into a little side business for some extra cash.. I am an artist and graphic designer so I don't think I'd have too much trouble with it.. I want to do airbrushing on my car too..

I think air brushing is kinda on cars but learning how to do the paint and bodywork is badass. Patience is the key...............THAT!!! is why I would never try.

I would never paint my own car, I dont trust myself.. Thats good side money if you have the tools and can afford a little side spot to do it at.

painting is actually really easy, and its really good money if your good at it. Doing custom stuff is the hard part.

i'd like to paint my car flat black. im tired of the high maitenance paint jobs and my current paint could use some help. im prolly gonna try the flat black with a flat clear coat and see how it looks.

plus if people look at my car and think its a POS i can throw it into high boost and show em my tails. lol.

personally i would leave it up to the pros. but a course at a comunity college sounds like a good idea

im not jumping on any bandwagon. i refuse to spend alot of money for cosmetic stuff on this car. my main goal is power.

when i did my civic i did alot of cosmetic shit and some power shit. i got tired of worrying about a scratch here and a chip there and bringing my car to the paint shop every 6 months to get touched up. this way here if i get a chip, i can fix it myself.

the only thing remotely cosmetic that i may buy is a set of nice rims. but thats only cuz im dying to put some 17x9's on that bitch.
