$7000 paint job

My car was painted 10 years ago, just the paint was $2,000 and I bought it thru my buddies body shop at his cost

Yes I could have used cheaper paint

That is how hot Rodding survived back in the day, all the guys would get together at a shop somewhere and fix each other's cars

But we also grew up playing in the streets, we didn't have TV 24/7, internet and cell phones

I learned by being there with my dad helping out. Try and get a kid to do that.

But for those that want to learn, yes it can happen. They need to find a shop that will let them sweep the floors and do grunt work and teach them how it is done.

Or take classes at community tech school

I have done minor body work but really don't like it too much. Paid to have mine done and I'm ok with that. But $7,000 paint job is on the short side in today's market if any body work needs to be done.

Good luck to all the young guys wanting to learn skills to make the older cars beautiful again.
