I'm watching my dad get totally bent over on a paint job for his build in the paint booth so from here on our im not paying for any paint and body. I'll get professional help and do it all our selves. It's insane. 30 footer is perfect if your gonna throw the car around and enjoy it
Paint and body can be extremely expensive. Most everyone likes a nice 10 footer. But with the internet and Google and time and patience you can learn to do a good job yourself.
Me personally I went to school to learn how to do it and I'm mediocre at best (patience isn't my strong suit) but I can turn out a decent product for myself atleast.
No one taught me how to do any of this stuff besides the paint stuff. I learned as I went along trial and error style. Then when Google and the internet started popping off with how to videos and old school forum type things is when I really started learning.
