Painting dilemma (long). What would you do?

1st. You absolutely do not have the skill to feel or see what a trained body man can. So if someone is saying something is there, it very well could be.

This is what I would do. If you have a community college in the area, find out if they have a restoration class. This would give you access to professional help, equipment, a paint booth, and mixing system.

Even if it's $500 a term, it's still one hell of a deal.


Many painters will not short cut or do the old quick and cheap jobs because someone may ask you "who painted your car?" and that painters name is now attached to that low quality work forever. Personal reputation is a body man and painters paycheck.
